In what sense "looking" and in what sense "only feasible for small
molecules"? Is there something still to fix there?

That's correct. If you include NBO orbitals, then Jmol presumes you want to
see them. From the documentation:

GAMESS, GAUSSIAN, GenNBO, Jaguar, NWChem, PSI, and QCHEM

*FILTER "xxx"*

where "xxx" is a word on the line Jmol uses to identify a molecular
orbital. This allows selective loading of specific types of molecular
orbitals -- such as "alpha", "beta", or "NBO" -- for any of these file
types, "POPULATION" or "EDMISTON" or "PIPEK" for GAMESS. ("NBO" refers to
orbitals generated with the NBO 5.0 option *AONBO=P*; "EIGEN" or "!NBO"
will skip loading of these orbitals.)
