I'm playing the Wii edition of Resi 4, not the Gamecube version. Anyway, I switched to HLE audio and wouldn't you know, it actually worked! The game runs much more smoothly. The worst framerate drop I experienced is around 20fps during the shootout in the castle (near the part where you have to align portraits of six doomed people), and even then it was a step up over the 10fps I was previously getting. I thought the LLE audio works best because that's what the Dolphin wiki recommended. I never thought the audio settings could affect the framerate to such a degree, because I didn't notice any real slowdown in other games. Anyway, thanks for your help, people!
