It sounds like data import path is the crucial part, perhaps changes
to the .obj plugin between 3.2.3 and 3.4.0 are what is causing the
difference.

Doing an:

    osgconv myfile.obj myfile.osgt

In 3.2.3 and 3.4.0 will tell you the differences that the plugin and
any optimization passes are making.

Is there any chance you could share an example of one of these .obj
files that is causing the performance problems?
