 That one of the reasons. Try 24-28

 Images ? Do you use a lot of gifs or jpegs ?

 Simple pshizics.  

 

   The more movement, the more cpu load. And if there is a lot of alpha 

  opacity, with big images (dont try this with gifs), you got a slow

animation. 

 

  Thoe it could be because you simply have a bad machine...

 All the tweens ? OK MAN ! How long will that take - an hour for a

half-layer ? 

 No way - just test out diffrent loads and framerates, should go fine. DONT

use gifs, 

 jpg one at a time.
