As the sample don't show any maping or warp, I assumed that the textures could apply
to the whole 
set of objects.
Does the spheres use spherical_warp in the textures? If not, you can at least combine
those.
If you start swaping, and you can't reduce the memory use, adding more RAM can bring
HUGE speed 
improvement if it can prevent the swaping. Also, unloading some unused processes will
free up some 
memory. BE CAREFUL whitch one you kill, removing the wrong one may crash the system,
but a reboot 
will cure it without any harm.
