Seem to be running Wind Waker slow. Any idea why?

Every time I load up WW the frame drops dramatically. I was wondering why it was?
I'm using Dolphin 3.0-763

Anybody have any idea?
My computer specs are
Processor/CPU: Intel® Core™ i5 CPU M430 @ 2.27 GHz
Video Card/GPU: Intel® HD Graphics
Memory/RAM: 4.00 GB (2.43 GB) usable

Couldn't attach Graphics Hacks and Graphics Advanced so here you go:

Your GPU is a bit too slow to handle Zelda TWW (which is a game requiring EFB to RAM). Integrated graphics processors are still pretty bad compared to discrete GPUs, nothing you can do about it.

Fwiw, you can try setting WW to use EFB Copies->Texture. It might run acceptably (that depends on what you find acceptable though. Dolphin sets it to RAM by default through .ini files. You can edit this by right clicking WW and going to Properties, then hit the Edit Config button. Alternatively, just switch EFB Copies setings during gameplay. If it's already set to Texture, toggle it to RAM then back to Texture, if it's on RAM, just switch to Texture. Unlike editing the .ini file, you'll do this each time you play it, but it's a quick and dirty way to test if Texture will do anything for you. Note that some graphical glitches may occur with EFB Copies on Texture.

NSMB, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, and Time Splitters 2 are very light Dolphin games, in case you're wondering. Almost anything runs them fairly well.
