Yeah, I think this is because of how the game renders fonts. Menu screens are especially slow, it looks like texture hashing is not working for some reason. It's pathologically bad with high-res font textures.

Unable to reproduce in 4.0. According to the wiki this is D3D9 only, so I tried D3D9, and even when doing everything "wrong", such as opening the graphics config menu, I was unable to reproduce this.

So I tried 3.5-1905, even earlier than the poster's version, and was also unable to reproduce it there.

Unable to reproduce as well.

FWIW, I tested this last week and reproduced it without any issue. Apparently text in ToS is rendered in a way where each character of a string uses a texture at a different address, and our hashing code uses the address as the "source of truth".

Moving to next milestone since these issues are not critical to a new release.

If you feel strongly about this issue and want it to block the next Dolphin release, please assign yourself as owner and re-add Milestone-Current.
