releaseGLObjects can't delete the OpenGL objects as it won't have the contexts current to do it - all it can do is place the OpenGL objects in a queue ready for deletion by the appropriate threads. > I guess I need to clear the OpenGL objects myself.

Alternatively one can call osg::flushAllDeletedGLObjects(unsigned int contextID) manually but you'll need to do this from the appropriate graphics thread. > In the same context, I have another question.

OpenGL doesn't provide any measure of how much memory is used on the GPU and how much is left. The OSG as consequence doesn't know this either.
