Timings are important if, for some reason, your CPU's integrated graphics are doing the rendering.
There's a guide somewhere for making sure that it's going through your GPU (I think), but hell if I know where that is. If you do that, you MIGHT experience better speeds. (note: it's probably just for nvidia, that guide, might not work on AMD's supposedly crappy solution for it, also, I've never read it, if you can't tell yet, and don't plan to read it when I find it, because I don't have or plan to have a laptop)
DJBarry: Intel IGPUs can be slowed down immensely by slow system RAM. System RAM has much higher latency and much lower effective bandwidth than a GPU nowadays needs, and it won't be helped by single-channel DIMMs running at DDR3-800. When running on system RAM that isn't extremely fast for system RAM, your performance can suffer horribly, even in dolphin at 1x IR with all enhancements disabled.

in a perfect world we would all be piles of sand with no ability to form coherent bodies of body
