Under gsdx HW hacks try fast texture invalidation.

If I remember right that is one of the snowblind engine games so tick 8bit textures and fast texture invalidation and try using 2x-3x if your are using higher.

Ah right 8-bit textures too.

The fast invalidation hack is the main one for the snowblind games.

Use Bilinear texture filtering, not Trilinear (heavy performance impact in Snowblind Engine games).
You might get slightly better performance with MTVU turned off.
Graphics might look better with Blending Unit Accuracy set to None.

Both of these tweaks improved the emulation a ton. Thanks my dudes. I also had to use native resolution 2x as the 3x was causing most of the slow down.
