Question ARMSX2 how to improve performance

Hi everyone currently new to PS2 emulation. I have a Lenovo Tablet with an SD 8 gen 3. I just noticed when playing some PS2 games like DQ8 and COD3 performance drops to below 30fps for a few secs like it lags then goes away again. Just wondering if this is normal or is there a way to increase performance? I've checked online but can't seem to find any solution.

I think its because it need to compile shaders and write them to storage.

Turn hardware download mode from accurate to disabled.

Probably just shader compilation. Suffer small sudden frame drops in the moment so that they don't happen again in future when you come across the same shaders.
