Speeding up Android Emulator on Ubuntu

Note:earlier I had asked this question on StackOverflow, but got no responses, hence reposting it's here.

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 (x86-64 version) and recently downloaded the ADT Bundle (adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130917.zip) fro M Android site. Created several virtual devices from Eclipse-window-> Android virtual Device Manager. But the virtual devices is not starting if I Click Start for any of the AVDs, a ' Starting emulator ' dialog box comes, t He loading bar loads fully but nothing starts – even after considerable wait.

Tried to run the emulator (inside Sdk/tools) from console:-

./EMULATOR-AVD <avd_name>segmentation Fault (core dumped)

However, when I run this, it throws the error but emulator comes up.

./EMULATOR64-ARM-AVD <avd_name>emulator:error:could not load opengles emulation library:lib64openglrender.so:c Annot open Shared object file:no such file or Directoryemulator:WARNING:Could not initialize opengles emulation, using Software renderer.

What is causing AVD to fail when invoked from Android Virtual Device Manager inside eclipse? Have anybody faced similar problems?
