What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

The game slows down in certain areas of the game, however, unlike a traditional slowdown, audio still plays at normal speed, and VPS reports itself as ~60FPS. On real hardware, this slowdown is not present.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

The very beginning of stage 2-1 has very noticeable slowdown when you start the stage, however, this issue is most noticeable during the Crawfish Seemer fight in stage 2-1 where the FPS goes from 30 to ~24. It is present earlier in the stage as well at certain points. You can see what I mean by comparing the footage from the emulated version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJnzLiTK_Kk&t=990s) vs real hardware. (https://youtu.be/k8Ee-G9R_JI?t=1411). Increasing the percentage of the emulated CPU does alleviate this issue.

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

5.0-21039

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

Yes, 5.0-21039

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

I don't know if it's relevant, but I've attached a fifo log of three frames during the fight with the Crawfish Seemer.

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)
