That is normal (see for example the entry for -gllamm- in this
statalist glossary
<http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2011-01/msg00003.html> (also
see the entry for jokes))
Sometimes it is possible to gain speed by -contract-ing your dataset,
and use fweights. This is typically the case when all the variables in
your model are categorical.
Hope this helps,
