Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I don't want to waste your time on this so if it is not something that can be easily diagnosed, I'll just move on.  I've been using Ishiiruka for 2+ years as my build of choice, primarily due to async shader compilation, some performance gains, and a few other reasons.  However, I don't know what has changed in my computer in the last half year or so but after not playing any games on dolphin for a long time, I've found that most games struggle to run smoothly for me with Ishiiruka, whereas they use to run perfectly before.  

I haven't changed my settings so far as I can tell so I suspect it is something having to do with my system, perhaps AMD catalyst updates, Windows updates or something.  What I'm seeing is that the game starts working correctly but every few seconds performance dips momentarily, then recovers again.  This goes on cyclically seemingly forever, even if leave the character stationary and provide no controller input.  For example, this makes games in the Guitar Hero series unplayable because the notes arrive erratically.

Is there a log or something that you can review that would give you obvious clues as to what may be going on?
You can see my system specs in my signature, if that helps.'
