It has more to do with how much memory you have than the speed of the processor. On my brand new 1G netbook it takes 4-5 hours!!! Check the Task Manager and I think that you will see that the emulator is eating up all the memory and CPU resources as it swaps memory to disk to make space for itself. Add another G or two of memory and you should be OK.
