Then I enabled OpenCL texture decoder and I'm getting a steady 25 frames now. However, it drops to about 23 when I use arts or when there are big explosions.
You sure you switched to HLE audio? The screenshots you posted show LLE audio; that you could switch to HLE audio and not get a speed-up (even with additional oveclocking) doesn't make sense. You're not bottlenecked by your GPU since your settings show you're at the minimum basically (1x IR, no AA).
If you can run this game fullspeed, having your Framelimit set to Audio causes drops like you mentioned when using Arts. Auto gets rid of any drops, but I'm basing my experiences on running this game fullspeed at 30 FPS :p It's probably different when you're below that.
Last resort: right-click this game in Dolphin, go to Properties and check the VBeam Speed Hack. Sometimes this setting can perform magic, it's worth a shot. If nothing else works, your CPU really is too slow to run this game.
