Can you provide any more information here? There's not really much to go on. The number of objects on card could conceivably slow things down if you're talking hundreds, but number of scripts really shouldn't affect anything unless you're activating a bunch of scripts simultaneously. If you're initializing things when opening a card, that could cause a bottle neck -- try initializing within a preOpenCard card handler instead of within openCard. It's hard to tell, but from what you describe, you *might* get better results by doing this: Lock screen -> go next card -> unlock screen [with visual effect ] FWIW, I've found you can sometimes trim a few extra millisecs off processing by explicitly calling "unlock screen" at the end of handler that locks the screen, rather than waiting for the handler to exit on its own. But if you're using visual effects, you're already doing this.
