In your example you're referring to "native Performer format". I think
the counterpart would be "native OSG format" ;-)
One idea that came up in the past was to compile a terrain tile and all
immovable 3D models within its coverage into one single object in
'native' or 'optimized' format at load time and to refer to that one
for later use. But this would imply hard-wiring the current tile schema
into more different places, which is probably not a good idea for the
long term ....
Cheers,
