I've recently been using Dolphin to play some old games of mine and I must say Dolphin is pretty great. Theres only one problem. I usually get a pretty low FPS rate. About 15 - 20 depending on the game I'm playing. Right now I only have two games installed, Luigi's mansion and starfox adventures. With luigis mansion I get decent preformance depending on where I am in the game. But it's playable.

With starfox adventures, I get about 10 FPS all around which makes it pretty un playable.

Are there any ways I can improve my preformance?
I have a Compaq Presario CQ60. I'm not sure if that's exactly the best for dolphin but you can view the specs here

Also, I'm running Arch Linux if that matters. Thanks everybody.

1 Not a chance .Dolphin require CPU 2.5Ghz+ for GC game and 3Ghz+ for wii game
2 Your laptop has no graphic card , Intel HD or Intel GMA 4500MHD are not a gfx card
3 Linux an MacOS are crap because of OpenGL ,Windows 7 64bit with Direct3d9 is the best atm until windows 8 out (Sep,2011)
4 Follow the performance guide

Well if you followed the performance guide and your performance is still not so great there's not much you can do about it.
