The key to running MVS efficiently under VM was to specify a small
region for MVS within VM.  This would result with all the VM pages for
MVS being in and MVS would page in and out.  A large region for MVS
would result in MVS and VM both paging in and out, working against
each other.  So look at Linux memory utilization and trim the memory
to just above the actual utilization.  I'm guessing 10% over
utilization but experiment with the amount and monitor paging I/O.  If
no paging I/O trim a little, then once you start to get paging go up a
little bit until it stops.
