Dolphin is a rare example for really smart development. Instead of it becoming ever bigger and also slower, it moved from using all 4 cores of an old machine of mine to run Metroid Prime, to using 25% of the cores, for the same game a few years later, just by being smarter (much smarter) about JIT and emulation. The efficiency improvement was an outstanding achievement. Whenever I read about emulators, I am reminded of this.
