My case was that the skin setting somehow had been changed from WVGA800 to WVGA854 in AVD. After I switch it back, the emulator works.

Use a low resolution device, when I selected Nexus 4 it kept running smoothly with me.

Also worth checking that HAXM is installed/enabled (this fixed issue for me, without it got same error as you were reporting and it slowed my Mac to a crawl).
