Where is the thread link? I'm pretty sure that if you keep reading you'll find that squall was right. I don't think it's explicitly related to efb copy to ram, just how often dolphin stalls on memory <-> video memory transfers. In some situations there appears to be no speedup while in other situations there appears to be a small speedup.

Makes sense, i changed my RAM speed to 1066MHZ and EFB->RAM was kinda slower

Pci-e would become the bottleneck at some point. But until then memory will become the bottleneck while dolphin is stalling on memory <-> vram transfers.
For reference: PCI-E 1.1 x16: 4GB/s each way (unidirectional) PCI-E 2.0 x16: 8GB/s each way (unidirectional) PCI-E 3.0 x16: 16GB/s each way (unidirectional) DDR2 dual channel 800MHz: Up to 12.8 GB/s (bidirectional) DDR2/3 dual channel 1066MHz: 17.1 GB/s (bidirectional) DDR3 dual channel 1333MHz: 21.3 GB/s (bidirectional) DDR3 dual channel 1600MHz: 25.6 GB/s (bidirectional) DDR3 triple channel 1066MHz: 25.6 GB/s (bidirectional) DDR3 dual channel 1866MHz: 30 GB/s (bidirectional) DDR3 triple channel 1333MHz: 32 GB/s (bidirectional) As you can see most DDR2 setups are good enough to feed pci-e 2.0 while most DDR3 setups are good enough to feed pci-e 3.0. However there is also caching to consider. Higher memory bandwidth means faster cache refills.

I'll applaud him just for taking the time to actually give such an answer. I got lost halfway through though.
