We are a small shop with 150MB of ECSA that is 50% allocated.  We have roughly 
200 asids.  From my experience any one asid using more than 5MB is highly 
suspect.  That is a big block of memory, if you can't do it with that then 
you're probably doing it incorrectly.  I'm not sure that pageable vs 
non-pageable matters, it certainly doesn't to me.  Either comes out of my ECSA 
total and when that total is exhausted, I'm in trouble.  Hence the 50% 
allocated to give some time to find and prosecute the offender(s).  Nowadays, 
it is usually a creep (memory leak) more than a sudden allocation.  I just 
checked who has what amount ECSA allocated and, other than DB2, all are less 
than 1MB most are less than 500K.  I hope this helps you.     Cliff McNeill
