    Try reducing the amount of emulated RAM in your AVD 'test' to 256MB.

    This isn't exactly helpful to your specific problem, but have to tried testing on an Android device instead of the emulator? Assuming you have one handy, it is much, much better than the emulator.

    I've a very fast laptop (i7 /8GB / SSD ) and the emulator is so slow to be unusable ( and that's with the snapshot ).

    4.2 needs more memory.

    Don't try to run the emulator unless you have a powerful workstation (ie don't use a poxy laptop).

    Emulator is ok for normal stuff, but it does everything in software - so no opengl acceleration - so useless for testing games etc.

    If you have bluestacks running (http://www.bluestacks.com/ it a program that allows you to run Android apps on window and mac laptops) and then run your app then, the app will install and start up on bluestacks. The only thing I have noticed with Bluestacks is that if you have any information being printed to the logcat then it won't show in eclipse with this running.
