Running Android Benchmarks

I need to perform benchmark on a new developed Android app. I need to figure out a way to simulate as many devices as possible, so, running the test on real devices is not feasible. However, the Android开发者_Go百科 emulator is very slow which makes it almost impossible to run more than a few on a single machine.

1. Is there emulator out there that might be faster than the one comes with the SDK (even in the price of less features).

2. Will the emulator run faster on Linux?

3. Any other idea for a possible solution?

Thanks.

I prefer BlueStacks for speed (particularly graphics) but also use Eclipse/Android SDK emulators for a range of phone and tablet sizes, for my benchmarks (free);

Following show fast tablet, Eclipse emulator and BlueStacks speeds. Above also has results including Android X86 for number crunching benchmarks.

I had to choose between finding a super fast emulator or writing a non android-app simulator. I found that Android x86 is a good-enough for my needs. I'm using VirtualBox with multiple virtual machines, each running the Android X86 which is an Android OS port to x86 processors. It is much faster than the Windows emulator and it much more continent to use since it starts quicker.
