It has nothing to do with bugs requiring you to use a speed hack.
It's because emulating hardware in software is an extremely heavy computational task.
So yes emulating PS2 games at full speed can be vastly more processor and graphics intensive than trying to run skyrim.
be glad they don't emulate as accurately as physically possible or nothing would be playable.

now I'm tempted to underclock my CPU just to prove a point..
the built-in recorded records at 60 FPS, no matter what speed it really was

I"m just shocked then.... I mean I know ps2 emualtiona requires a hefty computer, but never did i think that at any point in any ps2 game would it actually cause lag to a computer like this.
So what kind of computer do you need to run this game at 60fps?

kinda irrelevant, but want to make mention of this:
I tried playing rumble roses on my PC (i3 3.3) and I couldn't pull 60 for the life of me, 4 sw threads and all. other, much more demanding, games ran flawlessly. it's probably JUST that part of the game. (for the record I got 60 fps on a 2.2 dual core with FF12 for some parts)

Your GPU performance is "probably" fine or ok but lacks vram. Some of the more demanding game can eat up to 2GB+ of vram easily, especially during those intensive scenes where there are a lot of things going on at once.
