st: split a large dataset

Dear Stata users,
I am trying to split a large dataset by firm. A possiblity would be to
preserve the original file and run a loop where I keep the
observations corresponding to each firm. The problem is that restoring
the original file takes a very long time. Is there a faster way to do
it?
Thanks for your help,
Pietro
