There's a number of things "wrong" about DXF. DXF files are ASCII, which means they're bulky and slow to read. Once you've got the data, you need to massage it quite a bit before it becomes a useful 3DS model. This takes time and memory. If you're in a situation where there's little RAM left and 3DS's memory management starts swapping to hard disk, again, this takes more and more time. Have you tried the standalone "DXF3DS" converter from the library here?
