There's Gotta Be an Easier Way?

Ok I know...I should've made Rodent Rage an iPhone game first then did an iPad version, but I fell in love with the iPad and really got focused on it, now.. I'm feeling like making the iPhone version (with resolution independence) is a lot of work because of the nature of GS.
So because all my art is made for 1024x768, I batch-scaled it all down by ~6% to accomodate the iPhone 4 resolution except the backgrounds of course which are now 960x640
I have a lot of actors in my game and a lot of instances, just going to the inspector isnt going to scale them all at once obviously.
I think I read that the quickest way to scale them all down is to copy the behaviours of each actor, delete the actor, create a new actor and then bring the behaviours back in...?
Seriously is this the most efficient way of scaling my game down? I feel it's still going to take me 3-4 days of work making the iPhone version..sigh.
Then there's the whole repositioning all the actors on the screen too! Not to mention GS is freakishly slow at the end of a game development.
Live and learn...I will be starting with iPhone for the next game

Almost tempted not to make this game iphone-ready.
I think I will be holding off on the iphone version until at least the update comes whenever the heck that its...might make things faster at that point.
Cheers!
