JES2 ePVT space requirement

We've recently upgraded to zOS 2.3, and JES2 now requires a large amount of ePVT storage. For us this posses a problem as require over 1200MB of ECSA. Currently we flip flopping applications as they are required. Is there any way to reduce the ePVT requirements, perhaps move some of the requirement to Grande storage?

    APAR OA61229 (z/OS 2.4 and later) has moved the JES2 TGM from 31 bit private to 64 bit private for a savings of approximately 48M. Other areas are being considered for future releases.
