Hi Riccardo, I'm a surprised you saw a significant change in performance, in particular for the worse, this suggest that the merging has some kind of error in it or the driver isn't handling the larger sized primitives efficiently for some reason.
One thing of note is that both the draw dispatch and the draw GPU are around the same amount slower in the merged case, this suggest that the something in happening in the driver/GPU combination that is blocking the OpenGL FIFO and then in turn blocking the OSG draw dispatch that is putting data into the OpenGL FIFO. There isn't any way for us to pinpoint what this might be with the details given. Check for GL errors being printed to the console. Also try writing a your scene graph out to a .osgt before and after the merge so you can QA the merge by hand - do this for a subset of your whole scene graph as reviewing a really big dataset will be really heavy on an editor.
