Does having loads of layers effect performance?

JCFord

I usually have loads of layers(folders) with different objects in such as one for walls another for enemies one for player one for hud etc - But does having more layers effect performance, if it better it have less layers but with more in them?

I cant figure out what effects performance. I have stripped my ame down to nothing but the back ground the main actor and the camera and it is still choppy.

Fully loaded its got 9 4 layers scenes and over 100 actors and it doesnt get any choppier the more full it gets.

The only thing ive concluded just the X by Y size of your game.

Everything seems good when it 480 x 320 but once you do something like 1000 x 320 and add scrolling or camera... boom done
