I did a quick search for this but couldn't find anything, so if I have accidentally opened up another thread, then soz.
Basically, I'm wondering what the fastest build is at the moment, especially for running games like the two GC Zeldas (well, the two people care about more). Actually, I should be asking for the most efficient one - one that isn't just fast but does a good job and doesn't crash a lot.
Of course, sometimes fast and stable aren't 100% compatible, but if you check my sig you should see why I'm asking this (My mac's 2.0ghz Intel Core 2 Duo is very good, however it does have its limits unfortunately, and so does my wallet and casual working hours).
For Windwaker (that name sounds so suss with my Aussie accent) and TP, I think I got best speeds out of either r4466 or r4460 (I'll get back to this post when I figure out which one it was). In fact, I pretty much got 20-30FPS. My celebration ended when TP Link crashed the game by opening a door (exiting some store in Ordon village at the start after those little punks got me to go get them a slingshot) and after playing around with the start menu on Windwaker 1stly crashed the game (given I was pressing 'r' and 'L' just to hear the menu sounds alot), and then in a second instance where I simply saved then exited the start menu the game went to 5FPS out of nowhere.
So they were lightning fast, just lacking the stability component

I'm just curious as to which version so far has proved fastest, or should I say most playable (which will still be a mighty big stab in the dark because of how I'm running these releases on my little Mac Mini, but generally things tend to correspond with whatever success people have on 32bit versions of XP).
