This is addressed in the -set min_memory- option:
set max_memory amt [, permanently]
set min_memory amt [, permanently]
"12. min_memory specifies an amount of memory Stata will not fall below.
For instance, you have a long do-file. You know that late in the
do-file, you will need 8 gigabytes. You want to ensure that the
memory will be available later. At the start of your do-file, you set
min_memory 8g."
