Boost Android Development Speed

As a Java / Linux supporter, and programmed my first Android application some time ago, I am currently creating a similar one this time in WPF (it will probably be launched in WP7). I have to admit that so far Eclipse / ADT does not seem to match VisualStudio 9 in terms of development speed. The latter is superior to the build / run cycle (obviously, Eclipse is a Java-based application). Being my development of the HW i3 laptop / 4GB RAM / Win7 x64, my questions are:

  • Can I get the same development speed that I have today in VS9 in the Android environment if I had the most advanced processor (i7?).
  • Can I improve performance if I worked in the Linux partition on my laptop?

Any further hints are welcome.

The main reason ADT seems bulky and slow is because it constantly recovers in the background. This is useful when displaying compilation errors and warnings as you type, but when working on larger projects, especially when making changes to the manifest, XML files (including layouts, drawings, and lines) and resources, the IDE will regularly block the progress bar assembly, as some changes require completion of the restructuring.

You can turn off auto-build in the Project menu. I use this regularly when making changes to layouts, but turn it back on when writing code.
