Put in KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) into my 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04 LTS per: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation

In the terminal:

kvm-ok INFO: /dev/kvm exists KVM acceleration can be used

OK so the KVM is in.

When I run the Android Emulator there is no change from the way the Emulator ran before I put in the KVM.

I've looked in to the various settings within Android Studio, and I found nothing obvious about KVM.

Does Android Studio have a setting somewhere to enable KVM?

Android Studio 1.5 and 2.0 do not have such option any more.

Update: that is because the team has made KVM mandatory. And see comments from Google employees claiming that their new 2.0 emulator is also KVM-based.
