Many furniture? How many polys are we talking about?

Turn off any layers for things that you can't see.

U3D files really don't work with large files - even with small files they are very slow.

Is there any reason you have to have the 3D model in a PDF?
You can save a BIMx file that will give a much better result.
The end user doesn't even need to download a viewer for thier desktop or APP on their mobile device (although these are better), as there is a WEB viewer available in the BIMx Model Transfer site (link is in useful links above).
