Well , 10-15FPS is impossible even with my laptop CPU .It ussually run around 45 FPS (slowdown to 30 on heavy load scene)
Use Realtemp to check the temp and CPU clock speed to make sure your CPU is not overheating or sth

Try this:

Use Realtemp when Dolphin is running !
But your idle temp - 67 degree Celsius is very high ! Normal idle temp should be 30-45 degree Celsius

My framerate Magically went up to a reasonable amount!

Oh god , that's too hot for a desktop CPU . Overheating will affect CPU performance !
You should grab Arctic MX-4 (10$) at the computer store , clean the old thermal compound and then reapply it . (You can search "how to apply thermal compound" via youtube if you don't know how to do that )

Ok, thank you for telling me that! I will do it in the morning.

Intro sequence may be slower but you'll get a better speed once in-game. Make the effort to continue

I haven't read the whole thread - do you still get the issue with Dolphin not starting? If yes, I'm very interested in diagnosing and fixing it. If you've got a version of Dolphin that does not start, compress the whole Dolphin directory (with Dolphin.exe, the User and the Sys directory) and upload it somewhere please.

No, it has been working fine ever since!
