Sounds to me like you haven't allocated enough RAM to Eclipse, on a modest 2.40Ghz Core 2 Duo, with 3GB RAM, my Eclipse starts in just over 40secs using these settings: -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xms256m -Xmx1024m I also keep plug-ins to a minimum, in particular avoiding VCS plugins like Subclipse. Your emulator estimates more-or-less match mine, you can improve boot time to a degree by passing some command switches to it. e.g. "--noaudio" which prevents Android emulating the entire audio stack (assuming you don't need it), and "-no-boot-anim" which prevents the boot animation from loading up. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
