So I suppose that all those things in "these horrible glass containers
" were just to liven the place a bit ,yes? 
Not to mention the collection of knives and scapels that his duergar slaves were making for him.
Not to mention the part that the dryads say to Imoen "He has touched you as has us,hasn't he".The dryads were "his concubines" by the way!
What I think is that Irenicus didn't see as torture.He didn't enjoy doing those things he just did them to promote his own work,his own goal.In my oppinion he remained the cold blooded villian that he was even when commiting atrocities.THAT would make him truly,truly evil.
He saw all this as a means to an end while Imoen on the other hand...
Well, even concerning Imoen he said "Torture? Silly girl, you just don't understand what I'm doing, do you?", with more than a hint of puzzlement.
