Perhaps one step toward buying more time would be to set one or more thresholds above which new logons are resticted to definable groups of
userids. (eg. at xx% only non-class G users can logon, at yy% only users with some special directory OPTION can logon, at zz% only OPERATOR and MAINT can logon.) Not sure if it would work, but perhaps another possible step toward buyin g time could involve somehow changing the dispatching of logged on userids in order to slow the growth of page space utilization.
