Hiding objects that are out of view really increases the speed up. And also, try not to perform calculations on inactive objects such as collision checks, distance checks etc. This is just the thoery but you can work it out.

Additionally, see my thread about variable FPS:

It's a wee bit advanced, but you could probably get it.

Also, very importantly, what are you doing for your collision tests? Anything more complex than box collision is really slow. In fact, any collision built into DBC is slow, and you may consider writing your own math collisions.
