Yet another “slow emulator!” thread, but not quite. Ussualy people are complaining about boot time – for me it doesn’t matter and I have snapshot option enabled. The problem with my emulator is that GUI is very unresponsive – by that I mean I have to wait around 3-4 seconds for emulator to register my click on a button for example. Since I don’t have a physical device I am forced to work with this emulator.
The device I am emulating is Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, which means WXGA800 and large resolution (800×1280). I’ve set the device RAM size to 1024.
I am running Linux – if it makes any difference (because of crappy Graphics driver).
So what can I do to make it a bit more responsive? I can live with up to 1sec delay but not more.
