If you have tons of objects your game will be bound to slow down. Id suggest not showing them all at once. I would find the cameras angle range, and only show the objects if they are inside that range. Also, if you are loading your objects inside the loop, that wont be good either.

Load object "your object.x",1
sync on
do

Load stuff beforehand.

You need to find the cameras view angle, and check if the objects are inside that angle.

If the objects are not in that range then do not call them- delete them. Only call them when they are in that area.
