Don't import Poser objects as PZ3, save them as .VOB first and then bring them in, and remember to "collapse identical materials" as you do so.

What Lord Wexford means is don't import as PZ3 straight into your scene if you are having resource issues, import the PZ3 into a new scene, save it as a VOB from there and then you can load this VOB into your scene.
