The documentation says:

\fun{void}{pari_init}{size_t size, ulong maxprime}

\noindent The first argument is the number of bytes given to PARI to work
with, and the second is the upper limit on a precomputed prime number table;
\kbd{size} should not reasonably be taken below $500000$

All the example files use at least 1000000.
It is documented that GP use 4000000/8000000.

This is difficult to answer. It depends what you want to do and how much
memory you have available.

Cheers,
Bill.
