Ele, May be worth posting to the Papervision mailing list. http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/Papervision3D_osflash.org
I haven't looked at your issues in depth - but it may simply be that you're asking Flash to do too much. 2000 may be a recommendation for the number of planes, but your actual performance will vary depending on how many other animations and things you are asking the Flash Player to cope with, whether your MovieMaterials are animated, how much of the screen is being redrawn on each frame... But I'm no expert on PV3D - post to their list and you should get more helpful answers.
