Unless you're paging to memory, as in using VDISK for paging volumes on z/VM. Then you can sustain a lot of "paging" without impacting application performance. In the case of Oracle, for example, if you can fit the SGA into the guest's "real storage," you don't need a whole lot more for it to have the really critical pieces in the guest, and let the rest page.
