Dolphin 4.0 runs sluggish compared to 3.5

[Gapi0]

Dolphin 4.0 seems to run like WAY slower on my computer than 3.5 did. Lag is also way more noticeable. When it lags the audio hitches like a broken CD, unlike in 3.5 when it'd work alright during lag.

Any ideas?

They got rid of the old hle audio for a new axhle audio. Also it is alot more accurate so 4.0 will run slower than 3.5. If there aren't any game problems in 3.5 you noticed that were fixed in 4.0 then you might as well stay with 3.5 for speed.

1- Last 3.5 era = New HLE (a rewrite that fixed lots of bugs).

2- 4.0 is WAY more demanding than 3.5.

3- Sound lag is a sign of your PC being way too weak for Dolphin, or at least some games...

(Sorry if that sounds rude, but that´s the truth).

4.0 is not "way" more demanding than 3.5. In many instances it's faster, such as Linux. However, for the bottom of the barrel computer specs, it can be worse.
