Does dropping the data to the estimation sample and removing the "if" change the timing? There has been a lot of discussion about "if" slowing Stata down. I doubt this is your problem.

Thank you for the information that changing the integration points won't help; I won't bother investigating that.

The call to xtlogit that I'm using is:

xi: xtlogit depvar i.catvar1 other_vars if rand <7, pa c(exc)

the c(exc) option is unnecessary--- xtlogit ..., pa is equivalent to
xtgee ..., family(binomial) link(logit) corr(exchangeable)

I can't see what else I'm doing wrong, especially since the identical data set runs quickly in SAS with results identical to stata. I'm guessing that the numeric method SAS uses for genmod is just faster than whatever Stata is using for xtgee.
