Well basically I wonder what advanced settings are best for Shadow Hearts I read that as for graphics software renderer dx10 works best but found nothing about how I should set my advanced for best speed.

What advanced?
Except for the GS plugin the game is pretty fast, you shouldn't have a problem with it.

DX9 Software is what you want for speed in this game. Advanced settings have almost no effect in this game's speed since it is GS limited due to a unique bug (some very weird coding technique used which kills performance with PCSX2)

Yes most games run faster than Shadow Hearts 1, due to the bug I described. Did you try setting 3 sw render threads when using the software modes of GSdx? That should give a good speed boost with your quad

My bad I didn't read the thread title
Speedhacks and most settings other than graphics plugin won't have much of a difference in the game, it's pretty fast except for that... If you want you can use the Idle loop and INTC hacks and set the clamps to "none" but I doubt you'll feel a difference.
