Hey there, first post. Now, I'm sure I have a pretty solid rig to run a lot of games out there, but I noticed that I have some issues trying to play some games in Dolphin. Pandora's Tower loses frames when using the B button with the zooming feature on screen, The Last Story runs criminally slow in areas, but particularly, the Galaxy games, titles that I know have been able to run at solid speeds for some, run incredibly slow for me. I think my GPU is miles beyond what's needed to play Dolphin, and RAM is not an issue, so my issue is either my CPU or settings. My CPU is a AMD Phenom II X4 955 @ 3.20 GHz, and I figure that because the emulator is dual core and not quad core, it's being bottlenecked by my CPU, which is not overclocked. I'm not sure if this is indeed the case, but it's the only assumption I have.
Hopefully you guys can help me figure out what the issue is, or if there's a way to force Dolphin to use four cores instead of two. I hope there's something I can do without upgrading the CPU, as I've burned a chunk of money into the GPU (Which is a GTX 580) as is, but that was dominantly for PC games (I previously had a GeForce 8800 GT).
