A Vista dual-core 2.5GHz, 4GB RAM notebook, with a 5400rpm hard drive,
running on a battery, starts an Android 2.2 emulator on an existing
AVD in 95 seconds, from [Launch] click to a working home screen.

The same equipment, starting a brand-new AVD (and creating the data
partitions and such) does the same in 4 minutes 40 seconds.

If your Windows machine takes 15 minutes to start the emulator, you
may wish to consider acquiring faster hardware.
