not really, but you may experience nasty slowdowns related to the file
system if you are on a network-based home directory.
If this is the case, you should definitely try to move your AVD's content
directories to local disks (I believe the "android" tool
allows you to do that painlessly).

Another possibility is an anti-virus trying to control all the dynamic code
generation / JIT-ing that the emulator is doing all the
time :-)

And maybe Vista is just slower at it than XP, but who knows...
