I also think its partly Kongregate that appears to be slowing the game so much, it runs fine on my own webspace.

Thanks all who posted comments, I'm very impressed by the quick feedback. Just a few things, WOW, this runs absolutely horrible in a browser. I've doe most my testing in .SWF projector and it runs at a solid 60fps, nearly twice the speed. Clearly its a very different picture here.
Over this weekend I'll try and make some tweaks, I presume its the aliasing on the vector splotches around the blocks that are causing the issue.
Very sorry for the god aweful performance. I also hope to implement the global high score table that Kongregate offers, and a few gameplay tweaks I have in mind. Thanks again to everyone who made comments, very impressed by the potentials of this community and I appreciate everyone who played and commented on my first test project!
