Start your app without debugging and only if you have reached a point where it gets interesting for debugging, then connect your debugger using DDMS perspective -> device list -> debug process button.

Edited in 2014: Nowadays I would recommend trying the Genymotion Android virtualization. In contrast to the original Android emulator it does not emulate the core of the Android device, but instead runs it as x86 code in a virtualized system. That is typically faster. In addition it brings some features the original emulator simply does not have (like map based GPS position selection).

It usually happens in Emulator, especially when you are reading/writing files, making calls to web-server and/or the size of your .apk file increases (large apk size causes slow installation). The best solution is to use a real device which will speed-up the installation process and enhance the overall performance of your app
