thank you. I'm trying to make things compatible with stata 7/8/9 so I think that Mata is out :(
Thanks anyway though.

Are you perhaps creating Stata matrices unnecessarily? In the pre-Mata matrix language, commands like mat accum, mat vecaccum, mat glsaccum allow you to avoid ever creating matrices that would be otherwise unreasonably large: e.g. something like X' W X where W is NxN.
