3 things to keep in mind :
_Latest Dolphin run much slower than older version . We have to sacrifice speed and a bunch of hacks for accuracy
_Your current CPU is weak . It's rated as low-mid range hardware for Dolphin . Bulldozer a.k.a Faildozer (FX-41xx,FX-6100,F-81xx) single threaded performance is even worse than its predecessor Phenom II . The CPU includes only two modules with four integer-cores and two floating-point cores total. As a result, the CPU is not a true quad-core processor. It's better than Hyperthreading of Intel though
_Dolphin is a dual core application . No matter how much cores your CPU have , Dolphin only uses 2->3 cores . A CPU doesn't perform well in single threaded benchmark will have nightmare experience with Dolphin . See Dolphin Benchmark here , low-mid range Dual Core Pentium Ivy Bridge G2030 @ 3.0GHz blow Phenom II x 955 @ 3.6GHz out of water and Phenom II x 955 @ 3.6GHz is on par with FX-6300 @ 3.5GHz . Piledriver (FX-43xx/FX-63xx/FX-83xx) is successor of bulldozer . So don't expect good performance on most games (especially those demanding games) .
Things that you should try :
_Enable "Vertex Streaming Hack" . This hack give huge speed boost for Nvidia users , not sure about AMD
_Use older Dolphin version such as Dolphin 3.5 though you won't get any support from us in case you encounter bugs/glitches ...
_Right-click the game - properties - Tick "Vbeam Speed Hack"
