st: Slowing Stata down
Date

My Dell PC computer has timing issues such that when Stata's accessing a
file on disc, Stata can occasionally go too fast, at least compared to my
computer, generating error messages about files being "read only". In my
own code, if I have the program "sleep" for a few msec before accessing a
file, I can get around this.
But is there anything I can do to slow down internal Stata code? I'm
trying to MI reshape a data set, and I get error messages during the
"assembling results" stage about files being "read only" which I know are
indications of the same problem. [My computer at home, while generally
running faster, does not have this problem, either in my other code or
within MI reshape.]
Many thanks,
Laura
