Yep, often Rhino produces horrible large meshes for solid / brep  
objects.
If you simple select all objects in your scene and run the "explode"  
command, then if you mesh your objects the meshes are really just fine.
Best thing is to make layers of material, than mesh per material layer.

Writing a rhino -> radiance mesh converter with RhinoScript is pretty  
trivial too, if you need to do this ask more often or are interested  
in developing a workflow.
