From my perspectiv having the emulator run dalvik exactly like it would have on on real devices is a good thing. I want device emulators being as close to real world devices as possible, if not bug for bug compatible, then at least having the same memory management pattern as a real device. And I'd definitively trade some performance for more behaviour similarity. You just need to learn to go get some coffee or stretch your legs while the emulator boots. :) -- Fredrik Jonson
