If your resulting mesh is flat you have to set the smoothing angle in the pov
export option dialog.
High value produces less flat triangles.

It could be that big dxf meshes needs lot of time to import. DXF is a very
inefficient file format.

If it is possible please use 3ds.

Anyway, next version of 3DWin will improve the speed of DXF imports.
