RSFE7U Muramasa: The Demon Blade

I broke this out from issue 5320 for sanity reasons.

The game has a big drop in performance when the load/save screen is displayed. The game zooms in and the animations freeze while saving so if anything the FPS should most likely be increasing.

I checked previous versions of Dolphin and found that DX9 and DX11 used to have the FPS increase during saving/loading while OpenGL has always had a drastic drop in FPS during saving/loading.

I chased down the version where the FPS first changed from increasing to decreasing as r7625.

I kept all settings the same and disabled the frame-limiter, audio throttle, and vsync to get these FPS values.
