Now that you can easily edit AVDs, I have tried playing around with some of the settings for my Gingerbread AVD, and it's finally pretty usable.

• Device ram size: 512

My guess is that the RAM and max VM heap are the most important ones, but I figured it'd be better to include all of the settings, so you can try these out as a starting point and then tweak.
