Threaded Mode | Linear Mode

I expected PPSSPP to run like a dream on my new Note 4, but it does not. The only game I've got for the moment, Metal Gear Acid, runs at 18fps-fullspeed, often dropping frames and rarely running at fullspeed. I've tried many different combinations of settings, and the result is always the same, even at native PSP resolution (in fact, there's no difference between native PSP and my device's native - 2560x1440). My device is optimized heavily, and there's nothing aside from the bare minimum of Android resources running in the background, so I'm confused. I've heard that the Adreno's drivers are a mess, but this just makes no sense to me. I get 49479 overall in Antutu, and 16800 GPU, which are top of the line scores.

Anyone with a similar device have any ideas? I saw a post where a guy with an Adreno 330 device was running PPSSPP at full speed. The 420 is many times faster than the 330. :/

Edit: tested with Megaman Maverick Hunter X, and even it runs like absolute shit ingame. Menus are fine, but I'm getting like half speed, 30/60 FPS, ingame. Ugh.
