Quote:btw, Dolphin has up to 20 threads.
Quote:Anyways from what I understand, the threads include:
-CPU (runtime interpreter/jit recompiler/jitil recompiler)
-GPU (runtime compiler)
-DSP
-GUI
-Audio backend
-Input
-Input #2 (if present)
-Input #3 (if present)
-Input #4 (if present)

What other threads exist and what are they used for?

Correct. I'm not using DSP on thread. It says it's not recommended.
you get full speed? i have amd phenom 970 3.5ghz with asrock 890gx ex4 intergrated hd 4290 with no gpu 3gb ddr3 1333@667mhz i only get 50 fps most times with lowest setting on opengl or dx9. i get 25fps on f zero gx ( NGC )in gp mode with 30 cars on track,even though my cpu usage is 40-60% in total cpu ,my 1core is @100% and all the next are 0-5%.should i get a 5770 and will this give me full speed alll the way if not what card will at good price

what dolphine rev are you using
i use r6244 x86
I dont know if that(more cores) would give somebody more speed. I think it is from one to other one different.
Ive got a "strong" Pc and when Im playing twilight princess even with 4 cores on maximum, the game is not running at 30 fps! Do you want a evidence?:

I think if you got a better version you have better results even with "two cores" like me in Zelda, sry momently I havent got a pic but with r7718 I have more fps namely 30fps!

We know. Did you even read the thread?

Dolphin only uses 2 cores at a time (with the exception of LLE on thread).
The input threads are shared between GCPad and Wiimote or every ''plugin'' have it own 4 threads?
An input thread can be for either. Each active input has a thread. Correct me if I'm wrong neobrain.
