Why some products are so laggy?

I have some clothes and accessories that when used it creates much lag making impossible to move any bone of the character. There is a easy way to solve this error?

The Smoothing modifier is the usuall reason, turn it off until render
Many thanks jestmart!!!

By the way, What is the Smoothing modifier and how does it function?
To answer your question of what it is: The smoothing modifier is D|S's internal collision physics engine. It adjusts the contours of fitted clothes to more closely match the character. Some clothing requires a high value for Collision and Smoothing iterations. The more you have of either, the longer it can take for D|S to do all the calculations it needs to prevent poke-through. There's an interactive setting that really slows things down -- be sure that's off. You control smoothing via the Parameters panel for the article of clothing.
A smoothing modifier tweaks the vertex placement a bit like SubD, but without adding resolution - it can either try to go back to the base shape or just applying a smoothing algorithm to the current shape. A smoothing modifer can also be used to deal with minor poke-through from the undelying character (or another piece of clothing) by setting a collision target in the Mesh Smoothing group of the Parameters pane.
