I read in the Stata News that Stata 8.2 offers a 200% speed improvement in
-gllamm-. Does that mean it's twice as fast?
But wouldn't a 50% improvement mean that speed was reduced by 50%. And so a
100% improvement would mean that it was reduced by 100% - instantaneous
commands, a successor to immediate commands, not actually planned for
release until Stata Infinity+1 (the Buzz Lightyear release).
And as for 200% reduction, does this mean that -gllamm- models are about to
start returning all the hours they frittered away on us? Could I have mine
returned as part of my holidays please?
