There isn't a scheme in the DatabasePager for removing duplicate state, but there is the osgDB::SharedStateManager that you could experiment with as this is it's role. I'm afraid I'm not the author or have actively used the later so I can't provide specific guidance on this. As for the idea that tiles with duplicate texture will cause performance drop from 60fps to 0.5 fps, this does sound rather far fetched. VPB generates tiles that all have unique textures, regardless of the contents and the OSG on a modern machine can happily chug along at 60fps all day long. If you have seeing a drop of performance then it's unlikely to be the repeated sea textures at fault, and I'd strongly suggest you look into why as it rather does sound like your database is poorly conditioned for real-time use.
