Does it happen again if you savestate in the same place and try to leave in the latest git build?

If you savestate in an old version, and then upgrade to a new version and load the state, you'll retain some of the old versions bugs. Even if you save state again from the new version, it'll "remember" those bugs until you save the game and load it the normal way.

Interesting, I see. Yes it did keep crashing when I upgraded to the latest build of the emulator. So I was ready to give up until it hit me that I should just save the game using the game's internal save feature, reset the game and continue from there. Resetting cleared the bugs, I guess. Man I'm such a noob.
Plus thank to the tip you gave me, the slowdown has gotten way more manageable
