If you limit wsmax on the vax, giving users extraordinary SYSUAF quotas
may not be so disastrous. Remember that the process/memory manager will
automatically limit working sets to whatever is available in memory.

If the users run SMG applications, those apps may not even be aware that
they have quotas 10 times greater than necessary and thus not abuse the
system at all.

The only time quotas become important is with application such as
