PC games are not comparable to Dolphin. They stress the GPU more, while Dolphin stresses the CPU heavily.
The only other emulator that even comes close to Dolphin is PCSX2, and even then its not as intensive.
Your CPU is getting older, and AMD CPUs aren't known for great single-core speeds anyways, and Dolphin only uses 2 cores (unless you use LLE on thread, in which case it uses 3, but HLE is faster anyways)
I used an older edition of Dolphin, and had no problems before, the only place where it slowed down was in the later parts after getting the shadow pices, then I updated to the 4.0.2 when I read the forms saying it was better on this version, an my amd is a six core normally clocked at 3.2 I over clocked it to 3.8. the only thing that bothers me is the sound is playing 1.8x faster than the evey thing else, the graphics are fine, the adv FPS is any where between 25-30 lowest is 17 when starting the intro.
