MPE is using a large amount of the 48 MB for itself.  Each user has far
less than 12 MB!

My free RAMUSAGE utility (from http://www.allegro.com/software/) will
show you how much memory is being used by MPE vs. the user.
BTW, the new version now supports MPE/iX 6.0.

On our 968, for example, RAMUSAGE shows:

RAMUSAGE [2.36] - LPS Toolbox [A.03a]       (c) 1995 Lund Performance Solutions

SERIES 968RX
MPE/iX 6.0
#CPUS: 1
Memory size: 128 MB (134,217,728 bytes; 32,768 logical pages)

Memory usage by "type" of Object Class:

       Class     #LogicalPages  #MB  % total
   ------------- -------------  ---  -------
   SYSTEM_CODE           4,824   18    14.7%
   SYSTEM_DATA          13,252   51    40.4%
   UNUSED                  331    1     1.0%
   TURBO_DATA                1    0     0.0%
   USER_CODE             6,693   26    20.4%
   USER_DATA               467    1     1.4%
   USER_STACK            1,025    4     3.1%
   USER_FILE             6,174   24    18.8%

   Totals:              32,767   127   100.0%

   "User" pages are  44.8% of memory (58 MB out of 128 MB)

If you added:
      32 MB, you'd have   1.6 times as much "User" memory.  ( 160 total MB)
      64 MB, you'd have   2.1 times as much "User" memory.  ( 192 total MB)
      96 MB, you'd have   2.7 times as much "User" memory.  ( 224 total MB)
     128 MB, you'd have   3.2 times as much "User" memory.  ( 256 total MB)
     160 MB, you'd have   3.8 times as much "User" memory.  ( 288 total MB)
     192 MB, you'd have   4.3 times as much "User" memory.  ( 320 total MB)
     224 MB, you'd have   4.9 times as much "User" memory.  ( 352 total MB)
     256 MB, you'd have   5.4 times as much "User" memory.  ( 384 total MB)
     288 MB, you'd have   6.0 times as much "User" memory.  ( 416 total MB)
     320 MB, you'd have   6.5 times as much "User" memory.  ( 448 total MB)
     352 MB, you'd have   7.1 times as much "User" memory.  ( 480 total MB)
     384 MB, you'd have   7.6 times as much "User" memory.  ( 512 total MB)
