This should increase the amount of sprites you can push out significantly.

mode-lambda is intended for this kind of work load. Try taking the demo, going to the "rand" workload (line 140) and change in the in-range for W to something like (* 10 W) (which would be 2.5k) and evaluating the performance. I also just recently discovered an optimization I can make in mode-lambda but haven't had time to implement it. If it's not adequate, I can make sometime to do it.

[racket-users] 2d animations with 2k+ polygons?
I’m trying to create a simple fixed animation with about 2k polygons moving on a simple background. Not surprisingly, things start to slow down pretty badly once I’m animating 2k polygons at a time, even when every one of these polygons is (freeze (rectangle 5 5 ‘solid ‘blue)). My question is this: what’s the best tool for building an animation like this? Should I go straight to OpenGL? Jay, would your mode-lambda be good for this?
