Just put dolphin on my late 2013 retina macbook pro and I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed. I got it specifically to play brawl which it does terrifically at a solid 60FPS in game. Aside from increasing the internal resolution to 2x native with 16x Anisotropic filtering, all the other options are pretty much set to default and the game runs incredibly well.
The only thing that bothers me is going from menu to menu causes a noticeable hiccup, and at the beginning of a match when the characters are spawning, there's a brief slowdown, though the rest of the match plays totally fine.
This got me wondering: is the Graphics backend (and audio for that matter) that much better on windows compared to os x, to the point where I would notice a performance boost if I dualbooted and played on my (currently hypothetical) windows partition?
I understand that first and foremost this program is optimized for windows, so maybe windows could better utilize my current PC hardware?
Appreciate anyone who could help me better understand my situation.
