Dolphin consistantly slower after first run

[Jotokun]

I'm sorry if this was answered somewhere else, I searched but I didnt find any results.

Every time I download any revision of dolphin and unzip/unrar it, I always get good performance. For example, SSBB and NSMB almost always run at 100% speed. However, if I close dolphin, every time after that it runs a bit slower, on the games mentioned before it runs at roughly 80% speed. The only solution I"ve found is to delete dolphin and re-extract it from the archive. Is there something I can do to avoid this?

Specs are in sig, images of my settings are attached.

Do you unzip new revisions of Dolphin into the same directory or into a clean directory?

Would you try doing a file compare between a newly unzipped Dolphin and one that has been run once?

I think its something with dolphin dumping game data. I noticed that the average size of a newly extracted dolphin folder is 6-7 mb, while after using a revision for awhile the size of the dolphin folder is sometimes over 200 mb :O

I think this is it, now that you bring that up, the same happens with me. I've found that if I check "Enable Idle Skipping", I get back the speed I lost so while it doesn't solve the issue directly, it does make it not as bad. Thanks for the help though, at least now I know why it slows down.
