Android Emulator Plugin 2.15
I believe that the "-engine classic" option is being utilized in order to make use of the deprecated "-ports" flag. However, I observed that when using such option, the maximum memory size allocated to the emulator is significantly reduced:
12:55:48 [android] Using Android SDK: C:\AndroidSDK 12:55:48 $ C:\AndroidSDK/platform-tools/adb.exe start-server 12:55:52 * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5861 * 12:55:52 * daemon started successfully * 12:55:52 $ C:\AndroidSDK/platform-tools/adb.exe start-server 12:55:52 [android] Starting Android emulator 12:55:52 $ C:\AndroidSDK/tools/emulator.exe -engine classic -ports 5794,5795 -report-console tcp:5837,max=60 -avd masterDevice -no-snapshot-load -no-snapshot-save -no-window 12:55:53 emulator: WARNING: Classic qemu does not support SMP.

When using the new "-port" flag however, and otherwise starting the emulator directly on my machine. When executing command "emulator.exe -port 5566 @masterDevice" the console outputs:
Starting AVD without boot animation. WARNING: init: Missing WGL extension WGL_ARB_make_current_read Hax is enabled Hax ram_size 0xc0000000 HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode. audio: Failed to create voice `goldfish_audio_in' qemu-system-x86_64.exe: warning: opening audio input failed console on port 5566, ADB on port 5567
Note that I have 8 emulators running in parallel on my build slave. As of now, I have all 8 running in windowed mode, with HAXM acceleration, all with 3gb of memory allocated (you can see the 3gb of memory via the settings -> memory in the emulator). All of them are running API 23 Intel x86 Atom_64 System Image.
I've tested the same command using the "-engine classic" option and the deprecated "-ports" option, and only then is my memory reduced.
