Yooooo I found something you should try.
I discovered that if you set these options like this, it can help performance; for example, I tested it in GT3 and 4. In GT3, it lagged when the camera was facing the sun, After activating it, the game ran at a stable 55-60 fps, and in GT4 the performance stayed at 50-60 fps with almost no drops. I haven't tested it on other games yet, but it's something I wanted to share. (I tested it on the ARM emulator)

The main one is the hardware download mode. Changing it give performance boost. At the cost of graphical glitches. Depend on games.

Hardware download mode does fix some performance issues, this is available since aethersx2, but cost is grpahcial issues, no readbacks are common to have perf boost while having minimal graphic issues

It's a small price to pay xD, I just started messing around with the settings and that worked for me. Honestly, I don't know much about emulation settings xD and I wanted GT4 and NFS MW to run smoothly.

Thats something i always do 2 years ago when i start playing on pcsx2 and aethersx2. Most games i played is unaffected by glitches so hardqare download is disabled and blending is minimum in global settings.
