This overtime was completely unknown of 2 months ago), etc.
Unless you know of a way to know the future, we will simply release a version of Gekko only when it outperforms and is worth it. You want to know a sad fact? It is completely possible that after all the work we put in, we find out that we can not out-do but only meet Dolphin's speed (due to the GC's complexity). What then? No reason to release at that point. Too many questions, no answers at all.

I believe that the ONLY way to increase speed is to support Dual Core cpus. PCSX2 already supports Dual core cpus and some games are fully playble now. The games that i have test on my Dual core system are: Kingdom hearts: 30-70 fps . TEKEN 4 35-50 FPS. CLOCK TOWER 3 30-40 FPS. INPECTOR GADGET MAD ROBOT INVANSION 20-30 FPS. RESIDENT EVIL 4 30-40 FPS. I have test theese games on my Athlon X2 44000+ DUAL CORE 2.2 GHZ 1 GB RAM DDR 400, And GeForce 7900 GT 256 mb, and as you can see the speed is PERFECT! That because Dual core Cpu help a lot because 2 cpus works faster and better than one alone.
Gekko must be optimized to support Dual core cpu to run games in full speed. Dolphin dosent support Dual core cpus, that WHY is so slow.
