Sounds more like someone, somewhere on the internet was messing around with Dolphin settings, forget they changed something, started WMP, then tried playing Dolphin at the same time. They then attributed WMP for the speed boost. A lot of people admit to randomly changing settings, hoping for a boost in speed, so it's not altogether unlikely that the idea "WMP increases Dolphin speed" is just a mix-up. That's assuming there was a speed up at all, i.e. that person wasn't carefully paying attention to the speed in the first place :p
You won't lose anything by trying it anyway...
