Something I think the OP should also cover is which settings are only being applied once you reset the emulator ?
If there's a difference between PC and other versions then that should be mentioned too.

And lol, I tried Fastmem and 2x resolution....

Fastmem increases my FPS from 5-7 to 17-20 lol...

Choosing 2x resolution has minor impact (- 1.0 or less FPS) on performance but I can clearly see the resolution increase.

I think there is no options that are only applied on reset except maybe "Use Media Engine" (they are working on it) and 2x resolution on SDL (Windows version works fine).

When the GPU is a bottleneck the whole emulation is slowed down (probably to not desync something and start breaking things). It's easy to try when you have a slower GPU: just enable Screen 4x+Simple 2x SSAA.
