TmTigran, I'm not sure if SMS triggers a lot of shader compilation, but that may be what you're hitting.

Because Dolphin is not a game engine, Dolphin does not know what shaders it'll need until the game needs it. To keep things accurate and functional, this means that games get a bit stuttery until shaders are compiled. Once compiled, they'll stay cached until you either update Dolphin or update your GPU drivers.
