Thank you very much I will try to reproduce this issue later today. But
after quick look into your csv file I picked up one randomly choosen mac
address and:

cat kea-leases4.csv | grep d8:50:e6:84:3d:80 | wc -l
2422

you have 2422 entries for single mac address so I encourage you to use
LFC. Leases File Cleanup (LFC) will keep your csv file clean and you
wont drown in millions of old leases. Extend your config file with
"lfc-interval"

e.g.
  },
  "lease-database": {
    "type": "memfile",
    "lfc-interval": 2000
  },

All the information about .csv file you will find here:
