You should try to reduce emulation accuracy to gain some speed.
Disable Cycle Exact.
Disable VSYNC.
Enable JIT if possible, this will make a huge difference.

Overall CPU usage is 46% of which about 36% is used by WinUAE and setting WinUAE to high priority doesn't change anything. Turning off all those options makes the Amiga experience nothing short of terrifying, with jerky scrolls and jerky music. The titles I'm testing are Turrican 2 AGA and a demo from Team Hoi, Planet Groove.
By setting WinUAE to high priority, shouldn't Windows give more power to the core that is handling WinUAE? On the Task Manager everything remains unchanged, same percentages for WinUAE and percentage of overall use, still around 46%. With an I5-650 things go much better, it's very fluid, it has 2 cores, 4 threads and actually the single core I5 is much faster than an A8-4500M.
At the end of the day it's like you say, it's not a good CPU for WinUAE, too bad
