As i always suspected, my poor frame rates in some games was down to the unhappy combo of OpenGl and an ATI 4850 gfx card....
ATI's OpenGl drivers really do suck donkey balls....
Now, in this new version of Dolphin, the Dx9 plugin (which was pretty unusable for any game before now) is giving me 100% 60fps in Mario Kart, Zelda WW and TP....
, compared to previously Mario Karts frame rate with the OpenGl plugin has gone up from the low 40'fps...
