Paging subsystems in the era of bigass memory

[Pinnacle]

Gone are the halcyon days when we could run an LPAR with three mod-3's 
as the local paging subsystem.  With today's large memory sizes, I'm 
faced with having to completely rethink my paging subsystems.  I've 
currently got a 133GB LPAR with 18 mod-9 locals at 44%.  I'm going to 
add 22 more mod-9's, which will get me just under the 30% threshold.  
That's 40 page datasets, which is about 30 more than the most I've ever 
managed. I'm thinking about going to 10 mod-54's as my final solution 
for this LPAR (roughly 4x the real memory).  I wondered what the rest of 
you are doing with your paging subsystems in the era of bigass memory sizes.
