It seems to have it's ups and downs.

For example, there is a lot of buffering issues with Rogue Squadron 2 and cutscenes/transitions with HLE Audio, but once you get into the actual game play, it is near perfect audio wise and and 95-100% overall speed. Some levels don't even need Audio Stretching enabled. LLE Audio is a lot smoother with cutscenes/transitions but still not perfect.

Rogue Squadron 3 sees an improvement in video rendering, still has speed issues.

On the other hand Metroid Prime Trilogy will bounce all over the place frame rate / speed wise, depending on where you are in the game @ 1080P. I saw as low as 58% speed and 102% speed. 720p is more stable - staying between 80 and 100% with only random quick dips to 50% or lower.

MPT isn't as prone to crashing with synchronize gpu unchecked - RS3 is hit or miss: sometimes it won't crash / sometimes it will. Clicking ignore error doesn't tend to kill the emulation anymore. But on the flip side, instead of a crash RS3 will sometimes just hang without gpu sync.

Ubershaders no longer kick the fan into overdrive, not even Asynchronous. I'm slowly testing games to see if they are even needed on Apple Silicon Macs.

This is obviously informal testing on a M1 MacBook Pro with 16GB of unified ram and 1 TB of nvme storage. A Universal build of Dolphin for macOS or even a Apple Silicon native build of Dolphin should perform even better.
