How to make citra less laggy

It's probably the second worst emulator I've ever used, but considering it's the only 3DS emulator I'm sure there are reasons for that.

But seriously though, it's so laggy. The best I can get while running the only ROM I have, Pokemon Moon, is 89% speed 28fps, on continue screen. Why!? My computer must have far higher system specs than a 3DS, so why do I get such abysmal performance.

Still though, good job just making this work in the first place, developers!

How do I speed up Citra?

A few tricks I've learned that are quite easy are:.
Close all your other windows. This method will increase your FPS by at least 5 to 10..
Keep your laptop charged while playing. ... .
To actually get the FPS above 30, you need to go to Emulation -> Configure -> General and change the max framerate to about 300%..
