Fiasco,
Each texture should be loaded only ONCE. If you turn the detail
reporting on high enough you should see it loading each texture so
unless you built your model such that it requests the same file twice it
should not double load it. If on the other hand you loaded a second
model then there is no memory of previously loaded textures.
