Thanks Trevor, but that made only a marginal difference - it reduced the time for drawing a 5000 point dataset (with 4x4 pixel rectangles) from 690 ticks to 670 ticks (still over 10 seconds elapsed time).
As Scott mentioned, this is a lot of objects. I hadn't looked at the the number of objects you were trying to create before posting. I'm not sure what your needs are but perhaps you could create the objects in batches. You could create 100 (random number I picked) objects each time a function is called. When the function is finished it calls itself again in 10 ticks or so and continues where it left off. Just an idea.
