The purpose of this video is to compare loading times over the course of 50 area loads using different CPU Clock Override settings within the Dolphin emulator. Time starts the frame the UI appears on screen after the initial load, and ends on the frame the UI appears after the 50th load. Down was held on the stick the entire time to ensure that movement was completely consistent throughout testing.

I tried to have a controlled testing environment, so the only applications running on my pc were OBS and Dolphin.

The tested settings are:
Wii VC (the base comparison): 4:14.550
100% Clock Speed: (default Dolphin setting): 4:13.967 (~0.6% Faster)
115% Clock Speed: 4:05.117 (~4.08% Faster)
118% Clock Speed: 4:03.184 (~5% Faster)
125% Clock Speed: 4:00.334 (~6% Faster)
