Actually, Mark's suggestion of using a separate pool for specific work will
behave as he expects. Main store pools are respected at the lowest levels
of storage management. Of course, the pool must have been created
separately and only used for the planned activity, or pages may be used for
other purposes. If automatic performance adjustment is turned on, it may
also take pages from one pool for another.
