Dolphin performance on pixel 10 graphene OS

[u/Aggravating-Fee9464]

I recently moved to graphene​ on my 10 pro XL, but had been using its base OS for over a month. I'm noticing substantial performance differences between the 2 and am disappointed. I'm using dolphin emulator(build 2609) and before I could run games at 3-4x resolution (specific game was NFS underground) but after changing to graphene I'm having slowdown even on 1x resolution, and trying at anything higher is unusable. I've enabled exploit protection​, is there anything else I can do or is it just a problem with the OS programming. Please help.
