谷歌最近发布了一款新的Android模拟器。它比旧的更快更好。你可以在这里找到更多信息。

使用Genymotion代替模拟器。Genymotion的性能更好 https://www.genymotion.com

更新:现在Intel x86映像已经可用，最好的答案是上面的zest。

正如CommonsWare正确指出的那样，这个模拟器很慢，因为它模拟的是ARM CPU，而ARM CPU需要转换成Intel操作码。这种虚拟化占用CPU资源。

为了让模拟器更快，你必须给它更多的CPU。从快速CPU开始，如果可以的话升级。

然后，给模拟器更多的CPU:

Disable Hyperthreading - Since the emulator doesn't appear to utilize more than one core, hyperthreading actually reduces the amount of overall CPU time the emulator will get. Disabling HT will slow down apps that take advantage of multiple CPUs. Hyperthreading must be disabled in your BIOS. Make the emulator run on a CPU other than CPU 0 - This has a much smaller impact than turning off HT, but it helps some. On Windows, you can specify which CPU a process will run on. Many apps will chew up CPU 0, and by default the emulator runs on CPU 0. I change the emulator to run on the last one. Note that on OS X you cannot set affinity (see: https://superuser.com/questions/149312/how-to-set-processor-affinity-on-a-mac).

我看到在这两个改变到位后，大约有50%的改善。

在Windows 7上设置处理器亲和性:

打开任务管理器 单击“查看所有进程”(以管理员身份运行，否则无法设置处理器相关性) 右键单击模拟器.exe并选择设置亲缘性… 在Set Affinity对话框中，只选择最后一个CPU

注意:当您以这种方式更改关联时，它只在流程的生命周期内更改。下一次开始，你必须再来一次。

I think it is because clr virtual machine uses cpu directly without code opcode translation. It may be optimization for clr application or may be windows mobile/window phone 7 started on INTEL proccessor. Android platform based on linux and theoretically you can start android on virtual machine in i686 environment. In this case virtual machines such as vmware could execute some opcodes direcly. But this option will be allowed only if you write on the Java. Because the Java interpret their byte-code or precompile it before execution. see: http://www.taranfx.com/how-to-run-google-android-in-virtualbox-vmware-on-netbooks

窗口:

Install "Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM)" => SDK-Manager/Extras Install "Intel x86 Atom System Images" => SDK-Manager/Android 2.3.3 Go to the Android SDK root folder and navigate to extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager. Execute file IntelHaxm.exe to install. (in Android Studio you can navigate to: Settings -> Android SDK -> SDK Tools -> Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)) Create AVD with "Intel atom x86" CPU/ABI Run emulator and check in console that HAXM running (open a Command Prompt window and execute the command: sc query intelhaxm)

别忘了安装这个

备注:在AVD创建过程中添加模拟内存:硬件/新/设备ram大小/设置值512或更多

Linux:

安装KVM:打开谷歌，写“KVM installation” 用“Intel atom x86”CPU/ABI创建AVD 从命令行运行:emulator -avd avd_name -qemu -m 512 -enable-kvm 或者从Eclipse运行:运行/运行配置/标签“目标”- >检查Intel x86 AVD，并在“附加模拟器命令行选项”窗口添加:-qemu -m 512 -enable-kvm(单击运行)

附注:对于Fedora，对于Ubuntu

OS-X:

在“Android SDK管理器”中安装Intel x86 Atom System Image 在Android SDK管理器中，安装Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM) 在finder中，转到Intel Emulator Accelerator的安装位置并安装IntelHAXM(打开dmg并运行安装)。您可以通过将鼠标放在SDK管理器中的Emulator Accelerator条目上来查找位置。 创建或更新AVD并指定Intel Atom x86作为CPU。

p.s.:检查这个工具，非常方便甚至试用
