st: How to get -margins- give predicted probabilities faster?

Greetings,
I wonder if -margins- can be made work faster.
Say I have two indicators (x1 and x2) and two continuous variables (x3
x4). The following piece takes a while with Stata SE and a recently
purchased computer (fairly fast).
probit y x1#x2 x3 x4
margins, at((mean) _all x1=(0 1) x2=(0 1) x3=(10(1)20)) post
But instead if created dummies associated with x1#x2 and run -probit-
and calculate predicted probabilities with -nlcom- at the above
specified values, I'd be done faster.
Is there a way to get -margins- to do this job faster?
If not, do I gain something by using -margins- over the second way
described above?
