Sorry about the report, I'm having trouble keeping up with the devel list reading. I did have your private email in my inbox. And I am aware of the global property. For the most part I am not using multiple materials, and do not want all objects emissive. There is one place (can't remember where) that the global tag is used on the P51D. There should be little difference in the performance since only one callback is generated per object group. BTW, most of those model xml files need to be fixed for grouping order. I'll commit more changes tonight (US time).
