The OpenCL texture decoder is actually slower than the SSE2 optimized one, or something like that. IIRC, it could run better if someone decided to code it to use a more recent version of OpenCL. You're not really going to see any benefit in using OpenCL right now.

I am trying to understand whether any of this is compilation dependent
That's probably because your system is running Hyrule Field as best as it currently can. Though, that's hard to say for sure, since we can't see what kind of hardware you're running (unless you post it). In any case, the ZTP hack is part of Dolphin's code; as long as you don't remove the related code, it gets compiled.
