I know dolphin is intensive and all but this is kind of ridiculous is it not? It might just be the build but I don't think I have ever seen Dolphin do this. No matter intensive the game might be.

Do you have LLE on thread turned on?
Do you have openMP turned on? If you have both turned off this is unusual. If you only have LLE on thread or openMP turned on (only one) than this is above normal but still possible. If you have both turned on than this is completely normal.

Game is tales of Symphonia
LLE Thread is off OpenMP is on So close OpenMP for less CPU usage? OK so turning off OpenMP knocked the CPU usage down by 40%... Holy crap... 03-27-2013, 11:22 AM
Yup. Poorly optimized multithreaded texture decoding can eat up a lot of cpu throughput.

I don't know about that. In my post, I discussed how the more recent builds are slower. It started to REALLY become noticeable in builds 3.5 1065 and newer.

slower yes, but the emulation is likely getting more accurate at the same time. unless they broke something.

In my experience, it's more prone to eat CPU cycles than increase the speed or reduce micro-stuttering. Some games have it worse than others (Supe Mario Sunshine comes to mind), though others can deal with it (doesn't seem to do anything CPU usage-wise in Xenoblade Chronicles). |
