Hank,

>but what's your paging in that circumstance: excessive paging is what led me to look at the issue.

quite a few other possible solutions to that, depending in part on the exact nature of the problem.
One issue might be sys(3050,x,1)#sys(3050,y,2) and chatty OLE linking implementation -
which was a very special problem I found once and probably is not your current source of trouble.

But generally if you are running into swap problems either add memory to the box and/or lower sys(3050) generally,
as most of the time windows governs mem starved situations better than you. Heigthen it only if a WinDOS usage
is more typical for the situation and you can focus on ONE process as rule of thumb - exeptions as always exist.
If VM or TS usage is thrown into it as well or other WorkingSetSize issues, ask for a large budget or large data gathering timeframe.
