Hi

> I run the emulator on a 2.2GHz i7 with 8GB RAM (MBP 15", OS X 10.7 Lion), and find it to be slow...but not excruciatingly slow (at least once it's done booting -- enable snapshots [0]). Perhaps I'm just very patient? (I also don't run the debugger often. I still live in a world of "printf" debugging.)

The emulator doesn't have any form of hardware video acceleration, so the entire UI is rendered in (arm-emulated!) software, so the smaller the screen size, the better. You can also use `emulator -scale 0.75` to scale the screen size, which reportedly also helps.

We have small UserControl WinForms 2 with 3 tabs (emulator/sdk 
manager/adb).
several texboxes lile:    cpu-delay 0 -netfast -no-snapshot-save 
-no-boot-anim -avd android-2.2-API-level-8
nice-to-have (we got carried away with projects)

  * no persisting to file
  * not heavily tested

If You'd like, the fastest way would be to send those 6 cs files as 
attachment here...




Helped us a lot with slow machines....
