If this is already posted I sure couldn't find it anywhere. 

 I was having a problem with any emulator or simulator launching from PODS VERY 
VERY slowly, it would take about 2 minutes.

 I finally figured out how to fix this. I'm on XP enUS. For me, it was a 
netstat / DNS resolution issue.

1)  Goto START->RUN type cmd and hit enter
2)  type cd cd %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc
3)  type netstat -n
4)  every local connection (SMB or whatever) that your machine is connected to 
must resolve to something by netstat (or nslookup)
5)  type "edit hosts" (or copy hosts.sam to hosts) and edit that if you never 
touched it before
6   put an entry in your hosts file for EVERY host that netstat choked on. Exit 
and save..
7)  type netstat, hit enter    (<- without the -n)
 
  if netstat doesn't do it's thing and exit quickly then you still have some 
resolving to do, go back to step #3.

Alternate method: Fix your DNS you lazy programmer!

Alternate, alternate method: disconnect from all Windows file/printer shares so 
that netstat (sans -n) resolves quickly.
