I don't think there's anything you can do to speed up the installation. 200mb is a ridiculously huge APK. 

 How I can speed up Android Emulator ( for example to give more RAM for 
it or to give more Internal Memory for it ).

When you create the AVD (or choose to edit it later), you can specify the amount of memory it has.

See reference here: Managing Virtual Devices

Why would you have a 200mb APK? I can imagine you'd have some sort of data (it's surely not 200mb of pure code, right?) ?

You could/should remove this and put it on the (virtual) SD card of your emulator. APK size will be lot smaller, no need to keep loading that datafile.

In the end you'd want to do this for release anyway: 200mb is way too big. Release a small(er) APK and make the data available as download.

And if it is all code.. well, then you're out of luck.
