Have you looked at the possibility of trying to reduce you CICS cpu usage.
I know that CICS trace can burn a lot of cpu.  If you can then look at
setting the following -

AUXTR=OFF,
GTFTR=OFF,
INTTR=OFF,
SPCTR=OFF,
STNTR=OFF,
SYSTR=OFF,
USERTR=OFF,
Also look at your setting of the LE runtime option CBLPSHPOP and see if that
can be set to OFF especially if your CICS programs do a lot of dynamic
calls.

These are old recommendations but worth revisiting when you are short of cpu
power.
