To save on time/memory, you should be able to do something like
the following if your FlatField range does not change:

      // create the new set
       delaun = new DelaunayCustom(newpts, tri);
       newgsp = new Irregular3DSet(xyz,newpts,null,null,null,delaun);
       newvals_rgb = new FlatField( func_rgb, newgsp);
       //use copy=false to use the same array of range values
       newvals_rgb.setSamples(vals_rgb.getSamples(false),false);
       tetref.setData(newvals_rgb);

so you'll just end up using the range for the new and old
set.
