Not an answer to your issue, but instead a construction suggestion. It sounds like you're creating the numbered ovals as groups. If so, you can instead use oval graphics by themselves to accomplish the same result, by setting the showName of the oval to true and setting the label property of the oval to the number. You can halve the number of objects needed.
