In a later post on this thread you said you have 320 groups each with 12
observations. When you added -residuals(, by(id))- in the above you specified
a heteroskedasticity model where you estimate a distinct residual variance for
each group. This added 320 parameters to be estimated in your model, hence
the slowdown.
Cluster robust standard errors are currently not supported by -xtmixed-,
although that is something we are looking into adding in the future.
