Speed up the emulator ?

Is it only my system, or is starting up the emulator painfully slow? I've
installed vs.net on each of my 3 machines (including one high performance
server pc) and its slow between pressing F5 and seeing my app on the
emulator.

I admit it, I'm new to the .net environment (and IDE) - is there something I
may be doing wrong? Testing small portions of code is painful. I'm just
not big on making a lot of changes before testing - and this wait time is
forcing me into that habit.

Curious of your comments on this.

Trust me on this one; debug on the hand-held. Very much faster, there's no
reason not too. I must have wasted 10's hours with that emulator.
 
Thats pretty much what I have found too. Even on my fast new fancy-dangled
server - its slow to bring it up.

Well, okay then, thanks for giving me your take on it fellers.

If you must use the emulator, keep it open and save the state when you
close.

I tend to use explorer to open the handheld and navigate to my folders app.
Then I compile the code and copy the EXE from the debug folder to the
handheld. Run it on the handheld. The disadvantage of this is that there is
no link to the IDE for debugging, but it's the fastest. If I want to debug,
I just run it in the IDE, which compiles/copies/runs the app (slower) on the
device in one step.

Hope this helps...
