Troubles with VBA 1.8.0 B3

Hello! I'm a bit new here, so please be kind to me~
I seem to be having trouble with my VBA as it has moved in performance from 100% to 60-50%
I have tested this out on about 2 roms, both experiencing the same lag.
I have also tested this out on a few other emulators, all of them experiencing the same lag.
I have done all the little tips and tricks on how to speed up the emulation, but nothing seems to be working.
My computer is perfectly capable of running the emulators (most computers are)
Please help!

Have you tried using the better up to date Visual boy Advance M or any other emulators in general?

What games are you trying and what are your system specs?

We need that information before we can give valid advice

I've been using Yu-Gi-Oh Ultimate Masters - World Championship and a couple of Pokemon rom hacks including Pokemon Glazed! and Pokemon Liquid Crystal. The lag happens randomly; it works perfectly fine then goes back to all laggy hell after 20ish minutes.
Does the fact that it's using about 30K of memory contribute to anything?

Um, You might want to install speedfan and check your temps, your GPU might be overheating, this is just a guess on past experiences .

If you're using a laptop then overheating might be a concern, if it's a desktop though I highly doubt VBA is going to be able to stress it enough to do that. Just to be on the safe side though you should probably get some canned air or an air compressor and blow all the dust out of your fans & vents. Also as Gobby mentioned you really should be using VBA-M instead of VBA 1.8. In case you haven't downloaded it yet, here's a link; http://sourceforge.net/projects/vbam/

If by that you mean kilobytes then no way, that's incredibly low ram usage for any program.
