I can't believe how slow both of these things are especially seeing that the emulator is from google and you would think they would all be about speed.

First the emulator takes like 30 seconds or more too boot up. Do any action(like moving to another screen) is laggy.

Trying to debug through VS 2010 and Monodroid is a nightmare. To from line 10 to line 11 takes like 30 sec开发者_Python百科onds.

I tired using snapshot. I am using android V 2.3.3 but nothing seems to help.

I have windows 7 64bit edition.

Anyone else know how to speed things up a bit?

The emulator is slow by virtue of being an emulator: your computer is having to pretend, through a virtualization layer, to be an entirely different piece of hardware, and that means that just about every operation is going to be dramatically slower than it would be running natively. Your only real option to get better performance for testing your Android apps is to upgrade your computer (which won’t help much: emulating hardware is taxing on any system) or to run your code on an actual device.
