Yuzu and the other popular switch emulator, Ryujinx, may run better or worse depending on your PC specs--compiling shaders is normal on boot up but mine never takes more than a minute or two at most so an hour is extremely long.

Each emulator, Yuzu and Ryujinx, have varying performance with different games but run most games well.

Yuzu typically has games running better faster because the project isn't aimed to be a true simulation of the switch or super accurate like Ryujinx is.

You can checkout both to see which one you like of course.

Update your Yuzu application to the latest version. It stopped recompiling for me and simple just loaded the shaders on every boot of the game. Boot times into the game went from ~45s to 2s every time.

You can usually find precompiled shaders to download, for ryujinx look at ryusak
