Hello I've been using this emulator for a decent amount of time and am loving it. I do have some slow down from time to time however if i have multiple programs open at once even if just dolphin and firefox. My qestion is simply how can i improve my dolphin's performance.

So Far I've played:
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker: Runs great, shows 30 FPS but doesnt show slow down
Super Smash Brothers Melee: Runs great but some stages especially the more graphic intense ones show slow down at approximately 45fps
Metroid Prime: Runs at a constant 45-50fps but in some of the smaller areas goes up to max fps. The map brings me down to 15fps

My PC Settings:
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64bit (6.1 build 7601)
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T9300 @ 2.5GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GT 2GB dedicated memory
Memory: 4GB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 11

My Dolphin Settings:

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
CPU: Intel Core I-7-3770k CPU @4.7GHz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 4gb
RAM: 16GB DDR3

Short Answer : NO
Long Answer : I list some gamecube games
F-Zero need Core i5 2500k @ 4.4Ghz for single core mode , i3 2120 for dual core mode
Call of Duty Finest Hour need 10Ghz CPU
Star Fox Adventure need i5 2500k (stock speed) for HLE and i5 2500k @ 4.4Ghz for LLE
and so on ....For more info , please check the dolphin wiki

Your GPU (Nvidia GT 9800M) should handle 2.5x Internal Res + 16x Anisotropic Filtering fine
Better use Realtemp to check if your CPU overheat or not .But in most cases , your laptop CPU won't cut it

The latest revision is atm 3.0-631. Dolphin 3.0 is the official release Wink

Note:
newer revisions // a little bit slower, but more accurate
older revisions // a little bit faster, but less accurate

Not always. Some recent revisions provide speedups too, and most accuracy changes do not impact performance at all.
