100s of objects on screen halves FPS

Still very new to Torque, and I am not sure if this is the right place for this question. I have started into trying to create my first game. In this 2D game the creation of about 200 objects (along with 200 text fields) is possible. In the base state on my development computer the game runs at about 200 FPS. After the 200 objects are created it plummets down to 95 FPS, which is still not bad at all. The problem is that I am developing this game to be run on a much weaker computer, with a joke of a video card. In the base state it runs at 15 FPS (which might be acceptable), but it then drops down to 8 FPS.

So, my main concern at this point in time is: How can I create these 200 objects without a 50% drop in FPS? They do not need to have any physics information, they all use the same single image map, and the position for each of the 200 chips is unique, but fixed.

Here is how I am creating them right now in script:


new t2dStaticSprite(betChip @ %betId)
{
scenegraph = $sceneGraph;
imageMap = "ImageMapGrey_Chip";
frame = "0";
canSaveDynamicFields = "1";
position = %position;
size = "49 48";
Layer = "10";
GraphGroup = "21";
BuiltInShaderType = "NONE";
WorldLimitMode = "KILL";
WorldLimitMax = "1366 768";
AutoMassInertia = "0";
CollisionPhysicsSend = "0";
CollisionPhysicsReceive = "0";
CollisionCircleSuperscribed = "0";
};


Thanks in advance for any help, and sorry if this is the incorrect forum for this problem.
