I just scanned 30 documents with Simple Scan in 600 dpi and saved them as png and got 2.1 gigabytes memory usage for tracker-extract (Ubuntu Gnome 15.10). The memory was never deallocated. Simple Scan is missing some usability features: it doesn't tell when it is actually processing the image; you have to wait several seconds for the "Saving image" notification to pop up. I don't know what the trigger case/root cause is or what Simple Scan is doing (however, I know I'm not going to try reproducing the scanning...).
