Bloom in GM-Too slow-Help?

Code: [Select]

background_delete (bgDark);
bgDark = background_create_from_screen (0,0,256,192,false,true,false);//slow
 
// invert
draw_set_blend_mode_ext (bm_inv_dest_color, bm_zero);
draw_set_color (c_white);
draw_rectangle (0,0,256,192,false);
draw_set_blend_mode_ext (bm_inv_dest_color, bm_zero);
draw_set_color (c_white);
draw_rectangle (0,0,256,192,false);
background_delete (bgTwili);

bgTwili = background_create_from_screen (0,0,256,192,false,false,false);//slow
draw_set_blend_mode_ext (bm_one, bm_inv_src_color);
draw_set_blend_mode(bm_add)
draw_background_ext (bgDark,0,0,1,1,0,c_white,1);     
draw_set_blend_mode (bm_normal);

score = fps;
That is the step code for my objBloom.
The problem is, it makes my game run at 4 FPS, instead of 30. It gives me the effect I want, which is the saturated twilight realm effect off TP. Are there any ways I can make it process faster?

Thanks

Use surfaces instead of backgrounds.

I've done it (sorta)!  Bloom Lighting in GameMaker, and 3D mode too!  Check out the awesome Screen Saver.

I'll try.
(Ive never used surfaces before...)

EDIT:
Ok I'm stupid. How would I do so?

Thanks
