st: glm executes very very slow

["G. Dai" <dgecon@gmail.com>]

hi all,
I guess it might be useful to open a new thread for my problem.

I'm using glm command to estimate a fraction probit model.
however, when the do file goes to the following glm estimation,
it becomes very very slow. actually, it took me hours to finish the estimation.

I tried it on STATA SE 11.1 in a MAC and on STATA MP 11.0 in the department
server.

any help is appreciated.
