Weird Frame Rate Issue

So, whenever I start any GameCube title, I get an average of 20-24 FPS. But as soon as I open the graphics config the game jumps up to 30 FPS and 60 VPS 100% and remains there with no graphical glitches or hangs after I open the window. What is happening? I am using Dolphin 4.0 on Mac OSX Mavericks (Happened on mountain lion as well). 3.6GHZ i7 and a GeForce 650 1GB.

That means nothing, especially since wind waker was one of the ones I suspected

Well the issue is still a problem. What could it be?

By opening the graphic menu you reset you graphic settings to what you have put and not the default. If you think though that you will have no issues whatsoever you are solely mistaken. It doesn't happen with all games since not all games need some demanding setting, it seems though that those you have tried have some demanding graphic setting set by default due to an issue. In wind waker for example you will have problems with the pictograph and it's quests since my guess is you disable efb to RAM by opening the menu.
