I'm not so sure that a cluster will make -gllamm- or even Stata faster. 
A few months ago there was a discussion about performance on this list 
and Alan Riley replied "Apple's dual G5, for an application like Stata 
which only makes use of a single processor at a time, will not run 
gllamm (or any other Stata code) significantly faster than the same 
computer with only a single processor would" 
(http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2004-04/msg00471.html). The 
fastest computer at that time to run Stata code was the Opteron running 
64-bit Linux and 64-bit Stata.
