Another way that I find helpful is to use an IPCS dump and go to option 6 and use
VERBX VSMDATA 'SUMMARY' Then max down to the bottom. There is summary of the storage layout. This is a sample. Someplace in your listing will be something that will not look right. Once you have a subpool and key you can look at the data in the first part to find what is being allocated too often, or maybe not being released when it should.
