Performance difference between 72xx and 8070?

I just updated Dolphin from 72xx (I think it might have been 7221?) to the latest build and have seen a dramatic decrease in framerate, and this is in two games (the only two I have), which are Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Smash Bros. Brawl. Direct3D and OpenGL both show a similar drop in performance.

I used to have the following settings:

General: 1080p, fullscreen, no vsync
Enhancements: IR on auto, no AA, 16x AF, Per-Pixel Lighting, Scaled EFB Copy
Hacks: Store EFB Copies to Texture Only, XFB Virtual, Texture Cache Accuracy Safe (everything else unchecked)
Audio: DSP LLE recompiler

This was with the Direct3D backend. If I used OpenGL, it would be exactly the same, but the texture cache accuracy under hacks would be at the halfway point instead of at safe. This setup used to produce a perfect 60fps in both games in all scenarios. Any more hacks disabled would result in some stages in SBB being laggy at times. Now I get sub-60 on even Mario Kart. Did something in Dolphin change? Did it become more accurate, or did a feature get fixed or something like that, or am I having some issue with my machine?

Edit: The numbers say I'm wrong. Afterburner and Dolphin's in-built fps counters both tell me I'm at 60fps, but it doesn't feel like it at all. It feels laggy, and like the framerate is 30. Weird.

Edit 2: Narrowed it down to 7864. Had a look at it and apparently other people already reported this.

Try to disable XFB emulation, it may lead to timing variance which leads to every secound frame to be dropped.

Yeah I could try that. I was hesistant to disable it, but the wiki doesn't specifically list xfb as necessary for my games. Is it necessary at all if the wiki doesn't specify it?

Most games work fine without XFB emulation. You generally don't need to enable it unless it specifically says so.

Cool, thanks for the support. Now on latest build with XFB disabled completely.
