Unfortunately, 2G is really not enough for running Eclipse and the Android emulator. I saw a dramatic improvement on my system when I replaced my 2G DIMM with a 4G DIMM. But the emulator really does take a very long time to do its initialization of the phone even now. 3+ minutes is not unusual. That is why people recommend starting up the emulator at the start of your workday and keeping it running as long as possible, avoiding restarting or closing it.
