What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.
The pre-battle transition effect slows the game to like 1-2 fps, when it otherwise runs at 60 VPS 30 FPS
What did you expect to happen instead?
Game should maintain full speed, or possibly slow down a little.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Start new game, and skip through all the beginning dialog.
- Leave the first city and go left to Moonguile Forest on the overworld map.
- Run into the first flying enemy you see, and observe the speed of the battle transition animation.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?
4.0.2 & 4.0-690
Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which

I think I remember this being a configuration issue, not sure. Could you test with EFB2Tex/EFB2RAM?
[Do we still require EFB2RAM for BK? I think that's not needed anymore since the change that made EFB2Tex copy persistent.]

The game is actually forced to EFB2RAM in the ini, but it seems to work about the same with EFB2Tex (commenting out the line in the ini). I was able to fix the issue by dropping the texture cache accuracy from the safest (leftmost) setting to either the middle or fastest (rightmost) settings. Thanks for pointing be towards the EFB settings as the likely culprit. I added a note on this to the wiki page.

Re-assigned to kostamarino so he can assess whether EFB2RAM is still needed here. I think the only issue that it fixes is menus background becoming garbage when the texture cache is cleared (loading a save state, opening the graphics config).

It seems it is not needed, menus background image becomes garbage only when you change texture cache accuracy in the graphic options, and then again it will fix after the next battle even if you do that.

Damn, i found that the save picture is not saved like in xenoblade without efb to ram, nothing important but i guess it fixes something. :-(
