this is your problem:
Intel® Core™ i3 CPU M 330 @ 2.13GHz

dont expect full speed on all if it isn't about 2.5GHz with a decent GPU

games will run A LOT slower since your laptop also does not have a GPU (i know this because i had the initiative to google your laptop model number to find the proper specs, and considering your laptop has the SLOWEST CPU for its model it means it is the one without a GPU)

Tales of Symphonia needs Low level emulation of sound to make the music perfect.LLE of sound makes it very slow-Without LLE sound ToS runs on very slow CPUs...You have the choose...

The music is pretty terrible without LLE. You can always set music volume to 0 and just play your own music if you are fine with that.
