It sounds like it could be a bottleneck somewhere outside the emulator itself, i would try a few things...
1. Disable any Anti Virus, Trojan, Adware, Spyware or another application running in the background consuming your PC resources, any other program "scanning" your PC in the background, disable it
2. Try doing some maintenance to your system
2.1. Defragment your hard drive(s) after you...
2.2. ...Run the Clean Manager...
2.3. ...Update yor Graphic Drivers, i see you are using a laptop, check out this site http://www.laptopvideo2go.com...
2.4. ...Update DirectX.
2.5. For better overall Windows and Games perfomance check out this site http://www.tweakguides.com and download the Windows XP/Vista 7 PDF
Do not listen to the naive people claiming that a 2.0Ghz CPU won't be up to the task, while it should be clear that running Dolphin with a powerful CPU will give you the most raw FPS boost, you should be doing "fine" with some games using a 2.0Ghz
Windows 7 x64 7264
Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.0Ghz
4GB DDR2 RAM
nVidia GeForce 8600M GT
Thanks to the hard work of all the people working on Dolphin, i get the following FPS
Super Smash Bros Brawl / 50 FPS, with a few exceptions.
Mario Kart Double Dash / An average of 4x FPS except when playing at 100cc or 150cc and 50 in time trials.
Super Smash Bros Melee / An average of 4x FPS depending on scenario and NPCs on the screen
Metroid Prime / Still trying to get better FPS around 30-40 indoors, (The starting area is awful though 10 FPS)
The Legend of Zelda TP / Working on the FPS too, getting around 17-32
I need to check settings with Zelda yet, however i have to mention this again, thanks to the beatiful work done by all the people involved around Dolphin, you can get playable frame rates on some games..
Also try to delete your Dolphin folder, and extracting it again, to have a clean config.
