IMHO any render engine that fails to notice that a texture mentioned in 10 different skin shaders is the same file, and thus ends up loading ten copies of the decompressed texture into memory, is broken.

Lux does not load the same texture more than once. Look into Lux-log to see which images are just referenced while loading.
