Android emulator is very very slow

Tags:

My laptop: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 2GHz, 1GB RAM.

I created a target with SD Card 512MB, Device RAM size 512, snapshot enabled. I waited for 30 minutes but the emulator doesn't ends up loading. It keeps showing a flash word "Android" on the black screen.

Before running the emulator, I closed most other programs.

What's wrong with it? This is very frustrating. :(

Why emulator games are slow?

The running emulator takes up a lot of RAM. This leaves less for the host operating system to work with, hence the host has to deal with using virtual memory to continue running (attempts to use the internal hard disk as RAM). This greatly slows systems down.

What is your CPU and RAM usage during startup? Do you have a lot of IO swapping occurring? Considering that Windows needs at least 512 to run right half of the time and Eclipse is a memory hog you probably just need more RAM.
