Dolphin dev implements Uber shaders - Eliminates stuttering

Dolphin needs to build a shade cache for each game you play. While the cache is building, you get lots of pauses and jitters. Stenzek implelented a solution that let's you build shaders on the fly! This is not async like ishurka, this is same frame.

 To get it download build 5702 or later. It is a bleeding edge feature. Regressions in the build are possible.

There are three settings; off, hybrid, and exclusive, with exclusive being very demanding and hybrid much less so. Hybrid reduces stuttering while exclusive largely eliminates it, but you will need a modern top end card to use it ( gtx 1070 for 4x IR). The feature works best with non Nvidia cards in D3D apparently. Nvidia cards support it but due to quirks in the driver's hybrid shaders in opengl are less effective. More in the link.
