Why is the program slower when using covariates?

${\mathfrak{E}I}$ needs to evaluate the cumulative bivariate normal distribution, which is computationally intensive. If no covariates are used, only one set of computations need to be done for the entire data set. If any covariates are used, a new computation must be computed for every observation.
