It's not necessary to have the blessing or advice of Stata Corp. or the
authors or GLLAMM for someone to generate a benchmark .ado, and a
posting site. Better, but not necessary.

I would be pleased to include any benchmarking information on SSC. We
already have some Stata-related items in SSC that are not Stata code:
e.g. the texteditors FAQ, or the SSC submission FAQ. Given Stata's
package structure, it would be very simple to construct a package which
contained an ado (to run a benchmark), one or more PDFs listing results
from various platform/operating system configurations, etc. That would
have the advantage that the benchmark program would be installable
using the normal Stata syntax. All we need is a volunteer who would
like to construct something for Stata as has been indicated as
available for other applications.
