Some of these settings likely do nothing at all... some seem to work in PvZ though. Might try changing value of ForceRenderAhead to test (0-8) (default I think is 2 or 3 but I have no real clue)
Open Notepad.
Copy and Paste this:
RenderDevice.ForceRenderAheadLimit 1
PerfOverlay.DrawGraph 0
PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1
PostProcess.DofMethod 0
PostProcess.BlurMethod 0
PostProcess.DynamicAOEnable 0
PostProcess.DynamicAOMethod 0
Render.VSyncFlashTestEnable 0
WorldRender.TransparencyShadowmapsEnable 0
WorldRender.MotionBlurEnable 0
WorldRender.MotionForceOn 0
WorldRender.SpotLightShadowmapEnable 0
WorldRender.SpotlightShadowmapResolution 256
WorldRender.LightTileCsPathEnable 0
RenderDevice.Dx11Enable 0
RenderDevice.Dx11Dot1Enable 0
RenderDevice.Dx11Dot1RuntimeEnable 0
RenderDevice.VSyncEnable 0
RenderDevice.TripleBufferingEnable 0
GameTime.MaxVariableFps 30
Save it as "user.cfg"
You cannot have user.cfg.txt
enable "View Extentions of Known File Types" from Folder Options in Control Panel
Put it in your PvZ directory

CPU Unpark

*Doesn't do really anything on some CPUs, dunno if yours does or doesn't.

Go to Windows power profile. Change the Intel IGP setting (at the bottom) to Max Performance while plugged in (default isn't likely Max).
Plug the laptop into the wall while playing.

All of that probably won't improve the FPS a lot however. I haven't tested a mobileHD3000 but I have a mobileHD4000. I don't think you'll ever get smooth gameplay out of it sadly.
Best of luck.
