Emulator is slow. Major reason is that emulator actually emulates another processor with another instruction set than the Intel processor. Also other devices on the phone needs to be software emulated. It simply takes time...
You can experiment with android-x86 if you just want to see you app running. This is still an emulator but should be much faster since the processor instructions does not have to be emulated. Android-x86 is not a substitute for the phone emulator. You should still test your app on different screen sizes and versions of android.
