I try to resist believing there's a scene of people who believe cracking games or making emulators is the real deal, I believe people who do such things are either smart enough to do it for the pleasure of using it or get paid.

then go to the sound settings and make sure you're using HLE sound
Finally, make sure the option 'Lock threads to cores' is disabled.
Also try r7669 (64-bit) and see if it runs any faster (this build works great here)
Finally, try r6515 (the fastest and most popular Dolphin build ever) from here:

VSync is disabled by default. I've tried unticking the RAM option in EFB copies but this causes graphical glitches in New Super Mario Bross while it doesn't improve the fps in either SM Galaxy or Mario Kart Wii at all (strange, I know). External Frame Buffer is disabled by default. Yep, using HLE sound by default. Yep, "Lock threads to cores" is disabled by default. I've tried r6515, and while it does help (NSMB Wii is 60 fps while Mario Kart Wii somehow stays at 35 to 40) in most cases in others it doesn't. For example SM Galaxy is slower (as I've read that SM Galaxy and Galaxy 2 work better on newer revisions so I guess it's true), and A Shadow's Tale has ugly graphics glitches. On the other hand, Murama the Demon Blade has ugly graphical glitches on the newest build (apart from being a tad slower) while it looks great on r6515. I'll try 7669 now.
Edit: Would you believe that? r7669 works almost perfectly! Mario Kart goes between 40 and 50 fps, NSMB goes between 55 and 60. SM Galaxy is faster than on any other revision I've tried. Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door save game works. Shadow's Tale works great. The only bad thing is that Muramasa The Demon Blade has graphical glitches, hence I'll keep an older revision just in case. Thanks for the advice! r7669 is for me (unless they improve on it).
