Why are you making arrays with 1 dimension? You could just make them variables, can't you? And if you need them to be global, isn't there a global command?

MP_5 = 4 ` UMP40 Object Value
MAC_10 = 5 ` MAC 10 ObjeCT Value
DMC_10 = 6 ` Dual MC10 Object Value
JK_HR = 7 ` Jackhammer Object Value

palm_1 = 534
palm_1_2 = 535 -------\

Its probably not your variables that are causing your code to run slowly.

If you show us some code, we could help you

This code references a lot of media that none of us have.

Without it, it makes it impossible for us to really mess around with the code...

The only thing that I can think of that would be slowing everything down in your main loop is the updating of the water. Of course, I can't really test that hypothesis...
