Take note that CPU usage of 50% isn't accurate. Dolphin runs on 2 threads, one for the CPU and one for GPU, so on the Pentium G4560 (a 2 core/4 thread processor), you're going to be slamming 2 of those threads really hard with Dolphin's emulation (it jumps around between the actual cores/threads because of thread scheduling). This is why you're seeing 50% CPU utilization (plus other background processes like the OS and other things are being run as well)
