Hi Michael
Thanks. The graph is now one thousandth of its original size (from 8Mb to
8kb in size).

It sounds like you may have a graph with 50 circles but they are each drawn
thousands of times, creating a very large graph file. You could try first
just keeping one observation for each combination you wish to graph and
then
issue the graph command:
preserve
bysort seifa_rank ord_rank pop: keep if _n==1
graph....
