I have noted that in my computer Android and Eclipse are very slow. I agree that my computer has not very much memory but I was wondering is there any lightweight version of the emulator and is there some lighter IDE than Eclipse which supports Android development and Android debugger?

A:
you can code in any text editor or java ide. The Android SDK supports command line compiling. Using eclipse is just the easiest way to do so.

No.

Short answer: no. But, you can use the android tools to set up a project, use any plain text editor to edit java sources and use ant to compile everything and adb to install to the emulator.

You could lessen the load on you computer by avoiding the emulator and instead run you development applications on an Android device.
