Speed up Android emulator

I read on many other topics that the Android emulator starts really slow. Indeed, it takes +15 mins to start. However, on my machine is slow even after that.

The 'phone' responds with a 3-4 seconds delay and everything has a huge lag.

Is there any way to improve the performance of my laptop (Asus 1201N) is too rusty for the Android emulator?

PS: Tried in different emulator resolutions and the result is the same

Edit: My laptop has 2 cores with HyperThreading. And it shows as 4 CPU in Device Manager. However, when using the emulator, just one of the graphs is at 100%. Can I do something to make it work multi core?

Why is my Android Emulator so slow?

The Android Emulator is very slow. The main reason is because it is emulating the ARM CPU & GPU, unlike the iOS Simulator, which runs x86 code instead of the ARM code that runs on the actual hardware.

Why is my emulator so laggy?

Reduce resolution. Normally, the higher a system's resolution, the more hardware power is required, and the slower the emulators run. Hence, reducing resolution, to some extent, speeds up system performance.

Do you have "Disable Boot Animation" checked?

Also, if that doesn't fix it, one thing that helps is that you never actually have to close the emulator screen while you're coding. If you click debug when it's already open, your APK will get uploaded to the emulator and start pretty much immediately. For some reason it took me a while to figure out that I didn't have to manually close the emulator.
