While IND PAG ALL is not very helpful in analyzing your Linux
performance, it does suggest that you have chosen to ignore the
recommendation to configure expanded storage (or failed to limit MDC
in expanded storage).

Many things beyond virtual machine primary address space will compete
for residence in real memory. In many situations it is helpful that CP
will page out portions of the virtual machine that you do not use.
Having pages out on paging space does not impact performance unless CP
picked the wrong pages. If CP does pick the wrong pages, it helps to
have them go through expanded storage first.

When part of the virtual machine was paged out to disk and is
referenced again later, it will be paged in by CP. As long as the
virtual machine only reads the page and does not modify it (most of
your executables and shared libraries) that virtual machine resides
both in memory and on paging DASD.

Whether you're are paging and to know if that is impacting your Linux
performance needs a performance monitor, especially if you want to
increase utilization of your VM system.
