On my mac Android Studio is usable, however on my Linux Ultrabook, normally a fast machine, Android Studio and the Emulator are so slow (5 mins to start, one response or less per minute) that they are unusable.
On OSX I remember the main fix for that was about HAX but I don't see any messages in the log window about it and am not sure if that is really the issue.
I installed java 7u79 for the software to work.
I followed the steps here and my hardware seems to support it all, i.e.
$ sudo kvm-ok
[sudo] password for durrantm:
INFO: /dev/kvm exists
KVM acceleration can be used
$ egrep -c ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo
4
$ uname -m
x86_64
13:35:40 durrantm Castle2012 /home/durrantm/Downloads/android-studio
$ sudo virsh -c qemu:///system list Id Name State
----------------------------------------------------Not sure where to put options though I tried run -> Launch optionsBut still slow.
