I could probably be smarter during rendering (caching an image for the level and only drawing the things that can change), however I didn't really expect performance to be as much of an issue as it is. Garbage collection only takes a few ms, however the game hangs when that happens\r\rYou are the only person who has told me that the game has crashed (even worse, wouldn't close!) when they died though.
