As usual, when Statalist speaks, Statacorp takes action.  From the 
-help whatsnew- for the March 3 executable update:

"Performance of the Review window has been enhanced so that there is 
less overhead between executing multiple commands that are all pasted 
into the Command window at once."

Dirk's code, which was taking me 18 seconds to run, now runs in about 
3-4 seconds.  Which is still a little slower than Stata 9.2, but is 
nonetheless a big improvement.
