So, there seem to be a couple of spots in this game that even my rig can't handle full speed.

In particular, E.S. Simeon seems to kick your CPU right in the balls when it does just about anything. Things become even worse when you also have 3 AGWS on screen at the same time.

Fortunately, the video files that PCSX2's internal recorder (accessed via F12) puts out are always full speed regardless of whether or not things were going full speed when you were actually playing. Unfortunately, the internal recorder itself is quite likely to slow your game down to a crawl, but at least it gives me an option for parts like this.
