reduce used paging space

Hi

I have used gzip on AIX and the used paging space has jumped from 7% to 20%. The gzip process is finished since a long time. But the used paging space is still the same. How to release this space ?

Not sure, but since VMM handles a lot of that stuff dynamically, I would not worry as long as it doesn't grow continously or when you just repeat that gzipping.
Also check with for example vmstat if there is any "Paging Space in" is occuring.

If nothing of that happens, I would not worry.
