OK, firstly deploying your app without obfuscating the code was a mistake. But now that its happened why do you think someone who is selling a paid version of your app and who will have a hard time maintaining the code (decompiling doesn't give you a nice base to work from) is going to be able to compete with a free up to date version from you?
Secondly 1) I don't find Java particularly slow. But you can expect that its performance on a device will improve as more devices can access to JIT. 2) Eclipse is OK, but you don't have to use it. I don't, I prefer IntelliJ. Yes it costs, but not much. 3) Yes, the emulator is slow to start up, but after that its fine. So don't close it between each iteration. I don't.
