Is "atlas" a mesh? If so, try reducing the number of faces. You also may want to 
reduce the precision to 3 or 4 decimal places, usualy, more than that is not 
nessesary.
If it's a complex object, look to see if it can be simplified.
Those matrix are only used as a convoluted translate.
What is the deffinition of Color7? A texture or a full material? A material 
contains a full texture PLUS an interior block that can contain one or several 
media.
Applying the same texture or material to all those objects is wastfull, better 
to group them all in an union and apply the texture or material to the union. 
This will use less memory, possibly a lot less if you have 100's or 1000's of 
objects.
You may want to use a text editor to change
#if (version >= 3.1) material #else texture #end { Color7 } }
to
texture{Color7}} or material{Color7}}
