I think you are stuck with my original option 3 -- get a faster computer. 
I'm not that familiar with xtabond2, but it's probably a good guess given 
what little I do know that they require a lot of calculations.  One other 
possibility- if you are allocating more memory than is physically available 
you could speed things up quite a bit by adding RAM.  If the hard drive is 
being used a lot during the do file, then that may be the problem.
