Compile it on you desktop and transfer the files directly to your laptop, then see if it runs at 20fps. If it does, it could be something with your laptop and not GDK.

The fastest code is the code never written.

Maybe. Make sure you're not running a bunch of crap in the background. Check your performance in your TaskManager without running the game and then again while running it.

Well, the laptop doesn't have great specs, but it should be ok. How many polygons does your world have when you run it (you can use dbText(0, 0, dbStatistic(1))?

I don't have great specs and most of my development is done on a laptop but when I run stuff on my PC it does run only a tad faster. The PC is single core, my laptop is dual core.

It's the number of triangles drawn in the last render (to the main camera) I believe.
So assuming traingulated meshes that's about half a million polygons which isn't too little for a not-new graphics card.
You mention that your laptop's graphic card only has 256MB dedicated memory; the mesh data for the polygons alone (assuming a single UV data stage) would be around 17MB, then there are textures etc. that might be in the video memory as well; is it possible that it "fills up" so that data has to be transferred between the vram and your normal ram in each frame?
