Proof ? Most PS2 games run full speed on my laptop (Resolution : 1600x1000)

I don't think so . PCSX2 CPU benchmark :
Quote:60.72 FPS - SLUS 20672 - AMD FX-8120 Two Module=4 Core - 4.6GHz (OC) - azerty16
63.12 FPS - SLUS 20672 - Intel Core i3 2100 - 3.1 GHz Stock - Shadow Lady (PCSX2 administrator)

No, some parts of PCSX2 are multithreaded, (like the GS) and not that much.
Still, I believe ps2 games are heavier on the CPU to emulate, since its core is LLE'd, onthe GPU I think it's lighter than dolphin
LLE isn't necessarily slower. I'd give you an example, but that would make it confusing, as I'd choose a bad example.
Actually, an example.
If it's a car journey, you could Low Level Emulate another car by driving exactly where it does, and getting a burger when the driver does. You could also High Level Emulate it by finding its destination, and going straight there (ie no stop for a burger at lunchtime). Finally you could High Level Emulate it by kayaking round the world twice, then sleeping for six days, then turning up at the final destination.
It all depends on which does it most 'simply'.
LLE IS slower, because it emulates at a hardware level and does so as register accurate as possible
