for the record, Eclipse and the plugin are totally un-necessary for developing Android applications. they just provide a better environment but you should be able to use all the tools available in $SDK/tools from the command-line to package run and debug your Android applications. I do that routinely when benchmarking emulator binaries on different PCs.
now, the very first time you launch the emulator on a "clean PC", the boot sequence will be longer because the system will build various caches. any boot after than should be faster. the "Application not responding" dialog you see is just a symptom of having a very long boot sequence (at the moment, the Application Manager is not too sharp and considers that the Home application is not responding because the CPU was taken by other processes during the long boot sequence). now, why the boot sequence is long on your machine can be from two things: - you're running on a "low-end" CPU (by today's standards of course, i.e. anything < 2 real GHz or with < 1MB L1 cache would qualify) - there are probably some bad dependency / race conditions in our boot sequence that make the system_server crash in a loop during the boot on some machines. it's unfortunately something we could not reproduce.
