Not all the time, but yes some things were merged after 5.0 that made Dolphin a little slower.
In any case, the gist of this thread is correct. The PS4 is too slow in single core perf to even care about Dolphin on. You're free to bisect to find out when the performance drop happened. If you're lucky, it's an easy, isolated fix that doesn't cause problems with the platforms we actually care about.
