Just an idea for an algorithm: take all aircraft within 1nm that have a GS less than, say, 25kt. Apart from some aerobatic planes, that will only include planes on the apron at your airport. Now, for each of these, calculate a vertical offset precisely once, then use that offset throughout the rest of the session to correct the position of that aircraft. That isn't too computationally intensive, or is it? This still doesn't take into account scenery discrepancies, unfortunately.
