Why the speed issues?

Yes, AMD FX CPUs have low single-threaded IPC counts in comparison to Intel's last few hardware generations. That's what Dolphin really counts on. Even with that, that CPU shouldn't have issues with Melee or Brawl. 4.0.1 is old and actually slower than the very latest development builds. The OP is encouraged to use the latest builds (4.0-19XX). Some games will require overclocking on that FX CPU though, since it's not well suited for the workloads Dolphin throws at it.
