st: Stata MP

[Fred Wolfe <fwolfe@arthritis-research.org>]

Stata documents the increase in processing speed for estimation 
commands, but only for a few non-estimation commands (generate, 
replace). Does Stata Corp have data on performance of functions, 
foreach, forvalues, merge, egens, etc. We reserve one computer for 
data management and interface between SQL and Stata, and were 
wondering how much increase in performance we would see for data 
management tasks. We are thinking of 64 bit Vista.

Thanks.
