No, only 2d. 3D will require a lot more effort to code up the display.....
and slows the computer down as you stated.
If you have a very powerful computer and a few spare years then simulating a
galaxy should be no problem. I am working on doing some sort of collision
detection for the next release of the software but that will be a little way
off yet.
