Also keep in mind that VTK filters have new, derived data sets as outputs and 
there may be many instances of these data set in the pipeline.  VTK is quite 
good about sharing memory when possible, but it's not always possible.  So 
you might get away with a one filter pipeline, but several filters may make 
too many intermediate copies...
