Help making project run faster.

My project runs really really slow on my computer (though my computer is ancient)

My computer specs:

Intel celeron D processor 2.26Ghz, 512mb sd-ram, geforce 6200 pci, 7200 rpm hard drive.
Scratch version is 1.3

The project while in scratch goes at a very low framerate and is unplayable. I know my computer is rubbish but i feel as though the codes I have used can be improved to make it run faster, even on my computer.

Heres my project:

If anyone can make it run faster or tell me how i'd be grateful.

Re: Help making project run faster.

Hey Ur PC isn't rubbish i had a similar pc some days ago u just need to reduce the no of running script it is better if u use single script for a whole sprite mainly then it will run faster then u think on Ur PC also use small size and compressed images that will save memory and processing power and ur project will ROCK on ur pc. I too have speed problems these days my pc runs scratch on a speed that is more then its need even sometimes i couldnt understand whats happening can somebody suggest me how to slow down project without making them lag as hell if sent on other computers

Your computer isn't rubbish. Mine only has a 1.6 GHz processor, with 256MB of RAM. About the project, there's a whole lot of ways to get the project to run faster. Using less forever loops helps, less scripts running at the same time, etc.
