14,037 PointsGenymotion is loading and running significantly slower than the default emulator in android studio, any suggestions?
I'm not running them both at the same time. Computer specs: Windows 7 i5 3.4ghz 16gb Ram Onboard graphics since graphics card just died.
I'd say its about half as fast as the standard emulator.

"My virtual device runs very slowly. What can I do to improve its performances?
Genymotion is based on virtualization. Make sure your CPU virtualization technology feature (Intel VT-x or AMD-V) is enabled in your computer motherboard BIOS."

4,016 PointsGenimotion on Window 10 is incedebly slow. I started it two minutes ago and it is loaded fiinally but it is blank screen and window is laggy. After I started Virtual box and Genymotion as Administrator(only way to get it work on Windows 10), and after I flashed BIOS to enable Virtualization! I thought It would be faster than phone :) but nothing. Still nothing, window is black. Ok I will delete Genymotion, and test on real device or on default emulator which starts in about minute (1 minute) on laptop i5 3210m,6gb,win10,SSD
