It ran the games in Dolphin at max speed just fine before the update, but after I updated XCode to XCode 7 with the latest El Capitan system update included (OS X 10.11), everything just seemed slower in Dolphin. Though the computer is generally faster now. I'm using the latest development build of Dolphin - Dolphin 4.0 - 7888

Thanks  Heart

Chiming in to say that I too have experienced a very significant performance degradation since upgrading to El Capitan.

I skipped Yosemite (10.10) entirely and, until very recently, was running Mavericks (10.9.6) with Dolphin build 4.0-7816. Under that configuration, I was able to run many (but admittedly not all) games quite smoothly at 2x native resolution with 4x MSAA. After installing El Capitan, I now need to scale back to native resolution with no AA to maintain a playable experience for many of those games (still using Dolphin 4.0-7816). Some games are now completely unplayable. I know that Apple sometimes takes a couple steps back with their graphics drivers after a new OS X release, and I'm really hoping that's all this is. Either way, I don't feel like downgrading at this point, so I guess I'll just have to live with it.

Still, I'd love to hear an explanation if anyone out there can offer one.
