Re: st: Stata 9: first impressions?

[Nick Winter <nw53@cornell.edu>]

I feel like -graph- is substantially faster, especially for drawing the 
first graph (when it is loading the whole scheme etc.)

But maybe that is an artifact of something else (e.g., freshly installed 
the files are all contiguiouis and faster to load or something)?  Anyone 
else notice this?
