digiKam and memory

After working on 27 photos the memory consumed by digiKam 1.2  is currently at 1 560 268 kB (as reported by KDE System Activity under Memory column).
This is reported when no photo is edited at the moment.
Things start to slow down - and the computer starts to use a page file.
I've restarted the application and displayed the same photo - now the memory consumption is 160 404 kilobytes.
Looks like some bad memory leaks to me.

Red eye correction in digiKam

Hmm.. I can't seem to find a Red Eye Correction in my digiKam 1.2.
Is this a bug 234545 or am I simply blind?
