Has there been any big performance increases for Android lately

[Aussieguy]

in the last 3 months or so for Dolphin ?

I own the nvidia shield tv and can play a fair few gamecube games on it, but was hoping for a bit of a performance increase so i can play them better.

Btw, this is just a question and more of a hope topic because of all this isolation lately because of that stupid virus, alot of people like me habe lots of free time now.

No, there haven't been any big changes in performance that recently as far as I'm aware.

Thats a shame, thanks anyway

There's been a few optimizations that could help performance in certain games. For example, I now get a consistent 60fps in MGS Twin Snakes, even in intense fire fights. It used to dip below to 40fps when a lot action happened on screen.

And what options are these to give you this performance increase and which version are you using ?

11651 is the build I'm using and it's built into the emulator.  This progress report goes into more detail(look for the section on MMU emulation): https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2020/02/07/dolphin-progress-report-dec-2019-and-jan-2020/

Those MMU-related changes don't affect Android devices with ARM CPUs. Full MMU emulation has been disabled by default on ARM CPUs all along.

Ah, I see.  Maybe the small improvement in performance has more to do with Android 10?  After updating, I noticed a small performance improvement in my LG G8.

It is possible that you received a driver update in connection with that Android update. Those can make things better (or unfortunately, in some cases, worse).
