High-Score Framerate Problem!

Hey everyone! I currently have a game out called Tumbleweedz, and in the gameplay scene I have two actors: one displaying your current score, and one displaying your high-score, the problem is, when you start to beat your high-score, and it updates to the current score, the frame-rate drops from about 41 down to 20. Any suggestions? Thanks so much in advance!
