3.5 runs at full speed on my late 2009 quad core 27-inch iMac (OS X 10.8.4, 2.66 GHz Intel Core i5, 12 GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB, hard drive just replaced). However, I face the audio glitches that were present before 3.5-78 fixed them. When I try any of the developer builds of versions after 3.5 the emulator slows down drastically. It reaches a point where both four player battles and certain stages like Mute City are unplayable in Melee. Other games run at half speed or worse too. The games would run at full speed under the same conditions in version 3.5 on this computer. Is there a compromise between the audio fix of 3.5-78 and later and full gameplay speed? Turning down the graphics seems to have no effect. If you need more information about my settings I can post them.
I should mention that it is under HLE that it runs at full speed in 3.5. LLE generally runs much slower, and putting it on a thread does not seem to improve things.
