As I said, that would be the way to go... but this kind of refactoring is not
yet an option for us, the needed work is just too huge for now.

That was 100k ;-) and each is a different piece of mesh, so no instances. Its
100k instances of a *class*, not 100k instances of a *model* - each "class
instance" containing its own model.
Now to be honest, that 100k number is quite extreme, the usual common case is
around 5k-10k nowadays (but increasing with time).
We're perfectly aware of the need of a vast refactoring, but again this will
not happen before at least a year - other huge refactorings are to be made
before taking care of the rendering.
