The emulator is so slow as to be almost totally pointless on my computer, which seems to be a very common experience... takes ages to load, and then once it finally does it goes at maybe a fiftieth of the speed of my phone, hence it gives me very little idea what the thing's going to be like in practice.

And yet it's the default action when I press the 'play' button or Ctrl+r - which is of course what I've been conditioned to do when I want to test out my sketches, by years of using Processing. Not only that, but once I absent-mindedly press that button - which I still do even after a few weeks of doing Android - pressing 'Stop' doesn't interrupt the process; there seems to be no way to halt the juggernaut, I just need to wait and wait for this useless emulator window to appear and then close it when it does.

Sorry, I realise this is a moany post, I've got a headache. Is there any chance we could have an option to just disable the emulator, at least while my phone is attached? Or a Stop button that stops it loading after I accidentally tell it to? I would be deeply grateful.

Thank you!
