High CPU usage with Android emulator (qemu-system-i386.exe)

Question

The emulator qemu-system-i386.exe cpu usage almost constantly running between 7~9

Android studio 2.1 Android SDK Tools: 25.1.3 Host Operating System: Windows 7 - i7

Answer 1

I am on macOS Catalina(Version 10.15.2) with Intel Core i9 and 16 GB RAM and Radeon Pro 560X 4GB Graphics.

I solved high CPU usage by qemu by restarting the emulated device using the emulated power button.

Also, while creating the AVD, I chose Hardware Graphics Renderer instead of Auto.
