Whenever Dolphin hits 25% cpu and/or memory usage hits 800mb+ GUI starts to be slow and almost unusable. the rendering and the computer itself are not affected
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Hard to reproduce and its pretty self explanatory, Not sure how to STR.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on? Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which versions of Dolphin used to work?
I could say 7xxx onwards, i've tried few versions 6xxx-8xxx and the issue had disappeared but that might be because something temporal

I've had something like this happen a few times. I don't remember under what circumstances, though, so more investigation is needed here.

i barely remember and i've been testing some builds attempting to narrow the issue with Fog_TAS on irc.

Usually this is caused by the GPU lagging for me. I think "Computer is running at max, so the UI is lagging" kind of makes sense? I think this is working as intended, honestly.

If you set IR to 8x, is that the same effect you see?

Actually in-game input does work properly and i've experienced it with both gc and wii games

It means set the internal resolution in the graphics settings to 8x native.

Regardless of IR the emulation stays the same.
Could be an effect from "Ignore any changes to the EFB format"?

with 8x the the gpu is almost fully able to handle it: 94% at first.

I haven't had this happen since switching to Qt. A bug I will not miss.
