As for me Android emulator could not even start in >30 mins. I always tested on real device.

If your emulator takes more than 30mins to start i would suspect there are different problems than the speed of the emulator. For me even the slow (non Intel X86) emulators never take more than a minute or two to load.

Me too, and once it's open just leave it open and just start and stop the actual app. No need to reopen the emulator each time.
