Extracting contours discards a lot of information, results are more
detailed if a raster surface is interpolated straight from the LiDAR
points. Try any of the v.surf.* modules with the LiDAR points, not the
contours.

How many cells (rows, columns) are in the current region? Did you use
r.surf.contour? The -s flag might help to reduce memory requirements a
bit for very large datasets.
