Monitor FPS(?) after emulation exit - Dolphkep - 10-23-2015
Hi,
I've been trying to find an answer for this for ages, it's quite annoying.
When I exit a dolphin emulation (99% of the time ssbm, 20xx ed.) my computer is seemingly lagging. First i thought it might be a memory leak but later I realized there's nothing wrong with performance, it's just the screen that's lagging. If I start an emulation again it goes back to normal and if I tab down it's fine. But as soon as I exit the emulation everything starts to lagg. The amount of lagg is seemingly random, sometimes its almost nothing, sometimes a lot. Usually I just start the emulation and turn it off a few times until I get a decent FPS in my OS.
As I'm writing this I'd say I have about 10 fps.
My guess is that it has something to do with fullscreen and window mode. When you exit an emulation it goes into window mode and that's when it starts to lagg.
I'm thankful for any advice or help.
Currently running Dolphin 4.0-7161 (but this has been the case on many versions before)

This doesn't sound like a Dolphin problem; it's probably a GPU issue (SLI?) with dropping back down into low power mode or something.

Will investigate. Thank you.
