I promise not to reminisce in this reply no matter how good it feels to retreat to happier times in my life.
I don't have any candidate programs to share but I do have a thought. It seems likely to me that many if not all the biggest programs are either 1) G-Code generated from processed scans (of 2D images or 3D artifacts) for use on traditional mills, or 2) G-Code generated from 3D CAD models (or, again, from scans of 3D artifacts) for use on 3D printers. In today's environment, the latter programs typically contain an ordered sequence of "slices" of the artifact to be printed which suggests a possible strategy for dealing with their size. I'm less clear about likely characteristics of the former but it strikes me both types of programs could/should be considered as special cases in your analysis. Just my 2cents worth (which was worth more back when I was...oops, I promised).
