Before I dive into this later this evening, can you try reverting simgear to before the commit "Rewrite ShaderGeometry to use display lists and OSG primitives" and see if that makes a difference to you? Alternatively, try starting with /sim/rendering/random-vegetation set to false. If that does make a difference, make sure you are up-to-date with the very latest simgear and see if you still see this bloat. I imagine there are a lot of trees around KASE...
