Just got to Forsaken Fortress and just sitting in the boat before you get shot off to the island and noticed my FPS went way down.
Me trying to make it run faster:
I enabled skipping 4 frames, upped the Override Emulated CPU Clock Speed to 50%, gpu overclocked(dunno if helped much, might desync audio) to 1.2 and the FPS went up from 14-17 to 22-25.
If given no other choice in certain areas, disabling audio temporarily may help a bit. I went to the .ini and changed the DPS backend to "No Audio Output". Without audio I get 25-28 fps outside with the spotlights and 32-37 inside.
Not very practical I know but if FPS is needed in certain areas to be playable, that helped me so far. Hoping the tweaks you posted are better than what I did lol.
My phone can't be overclocked just yet, stock and very experimental kernels are the only ones out right now. Thanks for the warning though.
Also where is dps back end? Can't see it in my list, are you using version 5.1xxx?

Yeah disabling audio is in the Dolphin.ini. It's "FrameSkip". I changed it to 0x00000004 or 4. If you change it to 4 it will automatically change to 0x00000004. At least it did for me.

I changed it to 4 but the audio still works also I don't get no change in word from emulation overclocking?

Version 5.0-1691
Try backing up your Dolphin.ini config and delete it from the dolphin-emu/config folder then install the latest version from Dolphin android's nightly builds. That's what I did anyways.
It's not DPS it's DSP, sorry was my typo.
It's under [DSP] in Dolphin.ini on the version of 5.0 that I used

Update:
What I changed manually that helps:
EmulationSpeed = 1.2 (same as Overclock, might as well as boost overclock to 70%, raises fps above 30 causing audio issues)
FrameSkip = 0x00000004
Overclock = 0.60
Tested with no effect:
Backend = No Audio Output
SyncGpuOverclock = 1.5

I'm only using stock marshmellow and it's playable speeds already so we should be able to get a bit more performance out of Wind Waker.

There must be something that can be adjusted or altered in the emulator side, some optimizations?

Unless you think it really has got to the point where nothing more can be done?
This is exactly what I said in my response. Optimizations on the aarch64 JIT side of things is rough, HdkR and degasus were quite through there. And nobody can really work on looking into GPU stuff with so many bugs in drivers that nobody cares.

The only way you're going to get faster is by rice rocketing your phone like an insane XDA user.
I tried Wind Waker with audio disabled and without audio disabled. The Framerate seems the same so it looks like my frame increase was not due to the audio being disabled. Posting another video with audio enabled as proof of framerate sameness, although I only recorded the video not the audio to show there was no difference.

Must be one of the other tweaks like the 50% overclock, or my phone is unusually fast lol.

Any UI lag was due to recording it at 1080p, no ingame lag though.
That's pretty cool. I think Forsaken fortress is about as demanding as the game gets. I think by mid-2018 we should get performance that gives playable speeds.
Found this youtuber, who has a few videos showing how the OP3T performs.

Just noticed this myself, very little gains from the audio disabled, must still be emulating it even with no audio output.

Appreciate what you're saying but as you can see even outside the forsaken fortress we've managed 25fps which is 5 from being perfect? No overclock either?
Can we just have a tinker please? That ok with you?
You're a developer yourself, is there anything which you know which can be changed to give a boost in speed? Perhaps breaking something else we can do without? OR halting audio emulation etc??
