Is it the Nintendo Switch OS which is needlessly bloated? It does nothing, how can it be heavier than an actual Linux Distribution?
AFAIK the OS is based on a microkernel and the modules are rather small, so there’s probably a lot of overhead for IPC. Also I guess the power management is quite aggressive to increase battery life and lower heat.
Additionally, as a high level emulator Yuzu sacrifices some accuracy for speed. It’s possible that this allows it to also be faster than the official implementation.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

Yeah power management is the most likely culprit here. What is not shown is his battery life which I suspect is deplorable.
I remember there being a mod for cfw that unlocked a manual power setting slider and the results were similar.
