Does it matter how wide your scene size is?

Right now my scene's width is "10560" and I plan to add more width to the scene so that my "shop" can have more items to purchase. (The game uses the "jump to X position" trick where there is a "game over" screen and a "shop" screen all within the same scene.) So, I want to add a TON more items to my shop and want to add about 1440 more pixels to the horizontal dimension. (about 3 more screens) Does GameSalad care if the scene gets larger in terms of performance?

Correct me if I'm wrong sous chefs, but I don't think scene width affects performance. It's mainly the images and how many timers, interpolations, and other rules you have executing that affect performance.

yes no. of actors on screen at one go will affect, but after the first load things should be smoother.

Don't think it much cares, a 10,560 px wide scene with 100 items will be less burdensome than a 1024 wide scene with 110 items.
