This may not be a memory leak. The files may be cached by the system
since they were recently used, so the second access is much faster.

You normally do not need to call Delete() on your VTK Java objects, in
fact this could be a dangerous practice. vtkGlobalJavaHash.DeleteAll()
can be used on exit, which will delete all your VTK objects, or at
least attempt to.
