CTR+ALT+ESC to bring up the Windows taskmanger -> right click on Dolphin.exe -> Click on "Set affinity" -> Untick All Processors -> Select Processor 0 and Processor 1.
If that doesn't improve performance try playing around with selecting Processors, for example processor 0 and 2. You will need to repeat this procedure every time you launch dolphin though.
hmm this was interesting- first off i noticed a little improvement in general when i set the dolphin.exe at high priroity level- could be wrong but it did seem to help- as for setting the affinity- it seemd that even number cores were the only ones that worked well in combinations of cores 0 2 4 and 6-- the rest are too slow to be playable when selected-- ill mess with them more tonighyt and see whats the best combo-

hi, talking about the intel i7 rpocessors, specially from the i7 930, if i disable hypertrading, really can get some speed boost?
Maybe on laptops, so I heard.. On desktop PC's I don't think there will be much speed difference.
I tried with 8 thread and 4 threads by tweaking HT in bios, doesn't matter at all. The fps still stays at 60. Others reported slight speed boosts after disabling 8 logical cores (threads).
i7 930 is also a fairly powerful processor, I doubt you'll be getting slowdowns just because hyperthreading is enabled (given that you also have adequate gfx card and fair amount of RAM). It should play every game on full fps regardless. Even i5 700 series processors give full fps according to user experiences here.
of course, if u disable ht you should get a speed increase. or u can fiddle around with the cores used for dolphin as mentioned above.
my opinion: just disable it, ht is useless, for common pc user only useful for faster video encoding and zipping (and photoshop)
one things for sure- with all 8 cores or any combination of them in use i can get 45 fps in some spots with average 35 and low of 29-- but i am no where near getting 60fps - atleast not in gameplay- i mean its playable but dang i thought it be easier with the i7 processor supposedly being a powerhouse- wheres my quad core optimized dolphin at!! lol
