That fits to my experiences in creating an interactive 3D PDF figure.
The combined size of the  different parts exported as VRML was about 8 MB.
After importing them into the 'Adobe 3D Reviewer' the size of the  
resulting PDF file was about 150 MB. I couldn't find any way to reduce  
the size within the 'Adobe 3D Reviewer'. But within the main 'Adobe  
Acrobat' application I found an optimization option. This reduced the  
size of the PDF file to about 9 MB. I couldn't see any quality  
difference between the two PDF figures.
