With the newest OS X update, has anything been improved in the drivers that would improve or affect dolphin performance? I know GL is still limited to 4.1, but much of the OS X bottleneck comes elsewhere. Has Yosemite improved that at all?

Absolutely, I experienced a 20FPS boost in Mario Sunshine across the board, and I even switched my filesystem to File Vault so I'm taking a 30% IO penalty. I also noticed an issue with water textures in the game resolved itself; not sure if it's due to the increased rendering speed or a fix in their OpenGL.
10.10 has improved OpenGL performance
