Second:
A experiment. implemented parallelization in texture decoding using openmp. is most a experiment to test the performance in different os/plataforms. in my system (windows x64 amd 1055t) give a speedup in large textures, but i tested in in intel dual core and gives a slowdown. o i limited the use for large textures and cpus with more than 3 cores.
please test an let me know if it improves or degrades the speed.
please for linux and osx user. to enable this you will have to enable your compiler support for openmp to test this code.

in windows sleep(0) behaves more like what is defined in the yield instruction so use it instead. In my amd 6 core system brings a nice 8% speedup so please test I'm interested in knowing the behavior in different systems.

some code additions for future use ;).
please gcc user test this as i don't have opportunity to test it myself i only use reference code to.

- ReImplementing Single Core Mode like Dual Core Mode Style.
- Stage 1: My goal is, we have the Fifo, CommandProccessor code the more clear, maintenible and documented possible. When I quit dolphin I want any developer can continue with the work only reading the code.
* Big Refactoring: A lot of functions was changed the names, and modularized.
Now the FifoLoop and CatchUpGPU does not exist, was replaced by RunGpu() and RunGpuLoop().
The general idea is modeling the code like the real HW. The fifo is only a buffer where the Write Gather Pipe write the commands and from the Graphic Processor read these.
* Big Clean UP a lot of obsolete code and comments was deleted, like DcFakeWachDog, "Fifo very soon hack", etc.
In the stage 2, I will refactoring more code doing emphasis in the division of CommandProcessor, Fifo, Gpu Emulation. Beside I will comment all functions and variables in the code (Don't worry I will ask for English help for this part ;) )
Please test a lot SC mode and DC mode :)
Thank you so much for testing always and the patience. I don't like broke your favorite game but... you must believe me this part is very sensible, I only try to contribute for have a better and stable dolphin emulator.

Changes:
* Allow events to be scheduled when the emulator is not running. This allows the save state event to be added before the emulator starts.
* Removed the Audio back-end init flag from the save state. This value should not be saved as it is not data relevant to guest machine.
* Allow a recording to be started at any time (apart from when a recording is already being made).
* Updated the status bar and title bar when an on-screen message is shown
* Removed the saving of PEToken from the save state as the FIFO will save this information
* Added a couple Pixel Engine interrupt states to the save state
* Added the copyright notice to the GCPadStatus.h file.
This function is preliminary. Let us know of any bugs you find or any UI quirks.

This allows ALL settings in the gfx configuration dialog to be adjusted _per game_ in a more user-friendly way than before.
Obsoletes the gfx related options in the ISO properties, but I kept those since the configuration profiles use different ini file keys (i.e. convert the game inis to the new naming, please!).

- This game read the CPRead pointer when the GP is processing data and after detach the fifo and attach again an use this pointer for continue, so implement fifo.SafeCPReadPointer pointer.
- fifo.SafeCPReadPointer is updated when (FAKE_GetFifoEndPtr() - g_pVideoData) == 0) to have a pointer without GFX Commands Cut in the beginning of 32 block.
- Reset video buffer when the CPReadWriteDistance is written by the software.
- This commit is experimental please test a lot your games.

Also verify the validity of gfx configuration directly after loading rather than in the GUI code (which was kinda stupid anyway).

- In the Command Processor Control Register when GPReadEnable is OFF, wait until the fifo lopp finish with thi actual 32 bytes block. This is necessary to have Safe Disabble GP Read in this way AbortFrame is performed by the software, beside this can help to have accurate GPReadEnable OFF.
Please test Metroid Prime 1/2, Guilty Gear XX, X men gc, SMG, and shuffle you can test Harry Potter Prince for WII. :)
PD: The fifo code need a clean very soon.

I think that isFifoBusy bring better sync with VI (video interface) because the CPU emulated threads are waiting for DrawDone in BP Register. So, I do some modifications.
1) Rename "IsFifoBusy" by "isPossibleWaitingSetDrawDone"
2) Only activate isPossibleWaitingSetDrawDone when bFF_GPLinkEnable is true in fifo loop "Inmediate mode" that is because in theory this drawsync function is using in this mode.
3) Deactivate isPossibleWaitingSetDrawDone also in SetFinish in PixelEngine, beside when 32 block is finish.
Please regression in yours games thats can bring some FPS more above all with VPS frame limiter ON (Auto, 60, 50, etc).
- Fix waiting in AbortFrame(), please test mp1/mp2 is fixed again.
Good look!

this is marcos idea so the credits go to him.
please test the broken games in my last commits to see if this solve all the issues.

buildfix
move much of the build settings to .props files
-please use them as much as possible in the future, instead of changing individual projects
NOTE: to avoid left over blobs, clean your builds *before* applying these changes.
TODO: add DebugFast target for projects that are lacking it. Lack of DebugFast targets cause the linker to use LTCG when we don't want it.
please test for regressions which could be caused by being too happy with compiler flags :)

whit this code hashing is completely disabled for the dlists content itself this must bring some fps more but i must know if this causes any glitches.
i suspect that no game modify the content of the dlist so hash is time wasted but the only way to test it is with this commit.
please test as many games s you can and give me feedback for any glitch.
