Thats a quite diference, but I won't change my CPU in a long time (MOBO, Rams, etc). My Q6600 still manages to be fast, so probably I'll change my GPU (a GT 8800) and then in 2 o 3 years later everything, probably in that time the Sandy bridges will suck and there will be DDR4 memories xD.
Changing the subject, there is something really weird that happens in my experience.
Sometimes when I load the game, the game runs slower than usual (at 22-25 FPS in maps and battles) but if I close Dolphin and load again the game, in the same area, the game runs at 30 FPS very smooth and in Battles between 27-30 FPS (120% speed aprox).
So I constantly restart Dolphin till the performance is good. I don't now what may cause it.
Using the filthy xenoblade bluid and the usual config (DC, Iddle, Vbeam, etc, but lock thread to cores dissabled, for some reason the game runs a bit faster with that dissabled).
