I don't play tekken, but I know that FFX doesn't take much to run. It's one of the least hardware intensive games to run as far as I can tell. Emulation isn't typically a "one-size-fits-all" solution. Certain games require better hardware and/or different emulator settings to run properly. A laptop isn't generally recommended for running PCSX2 unless you have a pretty high end one. The hardware is just too anemic. There are certain settings that you can try and alleviate some of the hardware usage.
I would recommend determining where the bottleneck is at in your system by using some hardware resource monitor. I don't know anything about lynux but in windows the task manager can tell you your RAM and CPU usage and a third party software such as MSI afterburner can tell you your GPU usage. Then try running the emulator and see which component is reaching 100% usage first and then changing various settings in both the emulator and in the operating system to help alleviate the bottleneck. If all of your components are reaching 100% then you just need a better everything.
Well I'd recommend getting a better computer altogether anyways, but it'd still be worth it to see what you can get out of your current machine. That way you'll know better how to optimize your performance when you do get a better machine.
Now if we want to talk general recommended hardware requirement that will be enough to play even the most demanding games like MGS3 and Shadow of the Colossus then you'd want something like
-i5 2500k or better
-4gb ddr3 RAM or better
-GTX 750ti or better
With those specs you'd still have to do quite a bit of tweaking to run those demanding games, but you could pull it off. Even with my specs I still struggle to run MGS3, though I like to aim for those more luxurious visual settings on opengl with all the post process effects on and higher emulation accuracy with EE cyclerate at 300%
