Perhaps I misstated my point. My system is pretty snappy when it's working right (it should be as I've got 8GB RAM and 8 CPU cores) but since the last update Dolphin literally stop working for short periods when you interact with files (mouse over, click, right click). It's a total freeze of the application and it can take anywhere from 15-20 seconds to respond again.
