Its not a fix, but press the Z as he is about to go in. It shrinks the window and will skip the horrible lag. Then press Z again to restore the gba screen.

I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks in advance, HEROxOOT, this should make the experience a lot more consistent.

the only problem with this game is about watermark.
With standard dolphin settings (watermark set to 50) the game continues to ask me to change it because cpu is too fast.

The slow down is due to EFB access from CPU. Enabling the "Skip EFB access from CPU" option will speed this section up.
