That's true, László, but there are good reasons for that. Do you have
a flexibility to run in a non-batch mode? If this is a big project,
you may try to use another product by StataCorp called NBS (Numerics
By Stata), in which you can customize such requirements:

Alternatively, you can write a plugin to report the Windows memory
performance indicators. For example, it may look like sysinfo:

Looking forwards to hear how you can improve Stata's memory performance!
