When a task is linear (or serial if you prefer) you can't break it down into smaller task (e.g. multithreading) to improve performance. Emulating a GC or Wii is a very linear task; there are only a few places where tasks can be run in parallel at the same time.

Okay, I see. Thank you. I am planning to switch to intel, what processor would you recommend? I'm looking to play as many games as possible at 100% with it. And I have an unrelated question If you don't mind answering Shonumi. I am going to be a freshman in college, and my major is computer science with a concentration of game programming. I wanted to know if you taught yourself or did you learn programming in a course? Emulators extremely interest me and I hope to work on them one day.
