Just replace your laptop's thermal paste with sth like Arctic MX-4 or IC Diamond 7 . OEM thermal paste is much worse than aftermarket one , OEM thermal paste die quickly within a year .

OSX is also much slower than Windows 10 x64 . On Windows 10 x64, you can use Directx 12 which is the fastest backend right now . You will need Boot Camp though

If you want to stick with OSX , it's fine but you must install gfxcardstatus and choose discrete only . If you don' t do this , Dolphin will use integrated GPU which is Intel HD and you will lose performance . On Windows , you also have to do the same , not with gfxcardstatus but Nvidia Control Panel . Again , you must check the CPU temperature while running Dolphin (10 mins or so), if your CPU or GPU throttle , you won't have good performance
