The finding was that 99% of the time, textures are static in memory. However, Dolphin would pessimistically continue to decode and copy the same texture every time. The optimisation is to check if the texture matches what is in the cache, and if it does, Dolphin should early exit.
The result is the speed in New Super Mario Bros Wii increased 35% with spinning coins. Still not as fast as EFB copy to texture though.

The "Enable Progressive Scan" option in the Wii menu now controls whether the Wii/GC will detect a progressive scan display. This affects the timing of some games (both GC and Wii). Usually, the checkbox should be unticked as progressive scan displays require higher bandwidth.
This fixes the slow speed in NBA JAM. This also fixes the hang in Megaman Network Transmission. This should fix Deadly Creatures (turn off progressive scan).

Added disc access time emulation
Enabled the disc transfer speed by default
Changed the system timing back to the pre-r6090 default (thanks to tsilibourditsas for testing)
Changed the game property to "Speed up disc transfer rate". Leave this disabled for the most compatible setting.

Renamed EFB Scale to Internal Resolution.
Removed Auto Scale option (it is now always on).
Added on-the-fly changing of the Internal Resolution in the OpenGL and Direct3D9 plug-ins.
Further consolidated the code in the video plug-ins.

First step to bring a level of consistency between the video plug-ins - variable names, spacing, function names, function order, comments, file names. This will help us identify common code for VideoMerge.

* Fixed the "Change disc..." command. The filename of the disc was being lost between functions.
* Split the ChangeDisc function into two functions: EjectDisc and InsertDisc
* Moved the "Change disc..." command to the File menu.
* Removed some log messages that caused the debug build to crash when loaded with release build plug-ins.

After launching a channel, the wiimote has to be disconnected and reconnected for it to work. The same also has to be done when returning back to the menu.

Fixed the interpreter to execute instructions in the right number of cycles. It used to execute all instructions in one cycle.
Added a trace function to the interpreter making it easier to determine differences between the interpreter and the recompilers.
Removed the "Enable self modifying code check" as it was not useful.

* Added working Step Over function.
* Added hard-coded hotkeys for step into (F11), step over (F10) and toggle breakpoint (F9). The hotkeys are only active when the debugger is enabled. They function as before when the debugger is disabled.
* Added Debug menu item.
* Removed obsolete NotifyBreakpoint function from JIT and JITIL.

* Un-cleaned the Load/Store code. I think this will fix the stability issues from r6032
* Added memory exception checking to a couple more JIT FPU instructions
* Optimised the 64bit fast memory access slightly
* Optimised the MMU speed hack.
The rest of the speed optimisations from r6032 have been retained.

* Emulated correct behaviour of DSI and ISI exceptions
* Added memory exception checks
* Added fast TLB cache implementation (written by booto)
* Added "Enable MMU" option in the game properties
* Renamed old TLBHack to "MMU speed hack"
Thanks to booto (PowerPC) and nash (testing) who spent many weeks of their time helping me make this work. Also thanks to shuffle2 for finding and converting the map file of the original target.
There are two options for MMU emulation found under the game properties. "Enable MMU" is the accurate emulation option. "MMU speed hack" is the old TLBHack renamed. Most games will work with one or the other. Some games can work with both options ticked.
Only the JIT recompiler and Interpreter work with the MMU code. JITIL is not supported (too hard for me to add).
The speed optimised code still needs a lot more work and is disabled for now.

Made the JIT sanity checks more informative.
Sanity checks are now only performed in the DEBUG and DEBUGFAST builds. This gives a tiny speed-up for everyone else.

Enable it by uncommenting the defines in JitBase.h. For breakpoints to work in JIT mode, the block cache must be disabled. The PPC instruction trace, regs, fpu regs, flags, generated x86 binary and generated x86 disasm are logged in the Dynamic Recompiler log.

Enable the thread by adding this line to the video plugin ini files, "User\Config\gfx_dx9.ini" and "User\Config\gfx_opengl.ini":
UseFIFOThread = True
The line should be added under the UseXFB line.
To disable the FIFO thread, use this line:
UseFIFOThread = False
If the line is not in the ini file, the default is disabled (i.e. False).
The FIFO thread causes an error when the OpenGL plugin is used. The D3D plugin works.
Only top left quarter of the screen can be seen when rendering to main window. The entire screen can be viewed when running in a window.
