So, I've enabled every option for speed that I can, and have even tried bringing my processor back up to full speed (from a reduction to ~2.3 back up to 2.84 GHz) and yet dolphin still runs like an extremely hard and rather sticky turd in a bowl that is taped to the ground when used on my computer, so I decided I'd check here to see how I can speed it up more.
Specs:
AMD Athlon II X2 220 @ 2.84 GHz, two cores (I think the two cores part is already in there, though...)
6 GB DDR_* RAM **
XFX Radeon 5750 1 GB (this thing's why I had to reduce my CPU power in the first place, but... I don't need a DVD drive... anymore...)
465W "Ultimate Power Supply"
I've tried boosting the priority and playing with the affinity, by the way.
I have fog disabled and every hack that doesn't require a third core enabled, but I've tried a few other mixtures. This one was the fastest.
I am using DSP HLE, and have not ticked the option for it's own thread, mostly because I don't have a third core.
And I'm even playing only GCN games, the one I play the most limiting itself at 30(NTSC) and 25(PAL) instead of 60/50 already, yet I rarely peak (though peak goes to 60/30 respectively in most games), and spend most of my time in 45/12 FPS, the former of which is playable and largely unnoticeable in most games, but the latter of which obviously close to unplayable, even from a game that limits itself at 30.
