[lug] Android Emulator

[John Vonachen]

I changed it in this way:

     GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash clocksource=jiffies
divider=10"

Still no good.  I've read that Android emulators run slow even in normal
situations.  I wonder if maybe since I'm running it in a virtual box it may
be so slow as to be unusable.  I gave my virtual box 4 processors and 4
gigs of ram.

Beliefs are made of words but the world is not.*
