Not that I have any answer at this point, but I was discussing this
exact same problem with Johannes today. An input size of ~20K records
was growing each iteration by ~15M records. I could not see why on a
first look.

@jkbradley I know it's not much info but does that ring any bells? I
think Johannes even has an instance of this up and running for
examination.
