Game is playable with rare slowdowns that may reduce emulation speed down to at most 60%, for short amounts of time (perhaps due to processor termal  throttling).
Using 2nd emulation preset, plus EE cyle rate set as -3 and VU cycle steal rate set as 3 seems to offer the best performance in software mode renderer.
