If a mid-range computer can't run most gamecube games on Dolphin at a decent speed, but can run most PS2 games on an emulator that has to have five or six processors in constant synchronization at full speed (PCSX2), then there's something very wrong. I also experience the major slowdowns in Sonic Adventure DX. Anything between 53xx-6xxx if you want more "accuracy", at the cost of making 95% of your games run at 1/4 speed (sarcastic hyperbole). Anything in the 51xx or 52xx SVN range is better to use if you want to see more speed.

The newer builds are more demanding on hardware (pretty much any build past Dolphin 2.0), thus rendering what used to be mid-range down to the bowels of lower-end hardware (or so I've been lead to believe).
