Uh, stable release 3.0 being _worse_ than the newer (post-3.0) revisions having the experimental, thus not-optimized-yet, texcache-rewrite changes included? Really? What do you mean by "worse"?
Also, what are your computer specs? Especially the CPU and the GPU?
AFAIK, r7671 should have fixed issue 4638, more specifically the "Invalid Call" and other related problems due to recreating the DX9 device (when resizing the rendering window or switching to/from full screen mode)...
Sure, Dolphin 3.0 may not run as fast as it used to, but just so you know (before saying that it "sucks"), it's _not_ just about Sonic speed; some of it was sacrificed by changes that improve accuracy, stability (and sometimes compatibility)...
If you're just looking for a build that runs fast, then this thread certainly will help. Specially optimized builds (from Lectrode, etc.) might also help.
