True, as Dolphin advances, it's less likely to cut corners. Most of the speed gains we'll see will come from hardware upgrades. Still, you shouldn't discount cases where existing code is improved to provide better performance. One recent example I remember was 3.0-415. skid's commit not only lowered the CPU usage on my third core with LLE on Thread (100% vs 50~60% now) it also allowed me to play games that required LLE at full-speed without having to overclock at all. Such improvements are rare, but they happen.
