Project starting to...slowww....doooowwnnn...

Ríbó

_Hi all. edit: I deleted/removed many of the images, and it works better now. I don't know if that was the cause of the problem; or if it was just because my computer is old and slow and had been on all night.

Future projects will be much bigger though. Any thoughts on this kind of issue appreciated._

I'm working on my first 'real' processing project. It's a pretty linear 'slide-show' built with Processing and Processing.js. Structure wise, I've been making classes to do different things, and then calling them from the draw() in the main class. But the frame rate is slowing down to a crawl.

How can I deal with this?

The project does have a lot of media; .png files and audio files. I can trim that down a bit (but I'd rather be adding even more! so if that's not the problem, it'd be good to hear.)

The project has 17 classes. I doubt too-many-classes causes slowness. But if it does, that would be good to know. Below is the main class ("k_Objective.pde") which calls all of the other classes (I can post them too of course, if it helps find a solution).

My hope is that the problem is the program is trying to keep track of more variables than it has to, and the accumulation is responsible for slow-down. If that's the case, is there a command/technique for releasing unused resources, maybe?

Here is the current build. _ edit: No longer slowy. Still, thoughts on slow-code appreciated._ Thanks R
