To avoid this in the future, you might want to check, which application is filling your paging space. You could write some script using svmon for example to check out which processes are using paging space. There is an column that shows which process is using how much paging space - that one you will have to monitor (write a script, put it into crontab).
Paging activity itself is slowing down a system usually quite hard and should be avoided. When paging space is full, you have already the worst case.
Also consider if your system might need some performance tuning in terms of memory. If even this won't help and if you can't find any memory leaking process, you might want to consider to get more RAM.
