Sounds like the CPU i throttling. Are you running in high performance modded in Windows power management and your CPU isn't overheating?

What GPU do you have exactly and what graphics settings are you using? I think mario galaxy is a GPU demanding game in Dolphin. Check if lowering your graphics settings helps.

You should use high performance in Windows power management as it allows your CPU to use as much energy as it needs.

This is a very common problem. There's not much you can do about it, but it will be more uncommon if you're in a part of the game that you've been in before.

Ok, and how to load a Memory Card to save games (Like New Super Mario Bros.)?

Wii games don't use Memory Cards.
