Are you using any photo textures? that would be a good place to start with making your model smaller.

yeah, thats the ones. If you havent done it already, it is a good idea to save them a compressed jpegs before using them.

Also, check the size of them. How many pixels in height and width. Even though your texture might be bigger, SU's internal max size is 1024x1024 so there's no point going over that unless you use rendering engines.
When uploading to Google Earth you can do with at least half that size.
