My TGB game is running slow?

Hi, I'm making a game (platformer) it has a lot of AI too. It's extremely laggy, It freezes often too. It takes about a min. to load. Is there a way to make TGB less laggy? All the images put together make up 8.21 MB I think this is too much though :( any help would be appreciated.

i am new to this but i can try to help or atleast give some ideas.

you say you have 8.2 megs of images. are those all .png files? are those all loaded for one level, or project total? since your game is a platformer, are you using tilemaps?

those are just some thoughts. but im sure that if you have alot of ai/objects on screen that are dynamic that would be the slowdown over everything else. but saving where you can is better than not saving at all.
