I created an advanced snake game in python/pygame. The problem is that the game has gotten to the point that when I put the new version on our family computer so everyone can play it, it runs too slowly.
I ran the gameplay with cprofile and got the states, but I'm not sure what is normal and what should, or can be improved.
Here is a video of the exact gameplay I ran using cProfile, followed by the cProfile results. Thanks for any help!

Further information: when I ran the game on the family computer the game would run especially slow whenever the level up animation would pop up. But that only confuses me because it's really just doing the same thing as when it draws everything else to the screen, except that the position is increased every frame.
