1. Simply add "DLLBASING=OFF" to your CONFIG.SYS.
2. Reboot.

By default, each DLL will attempt to place itself at its proposal
base virtual address. If cannot, loaded in shared address region
somewhere, with fitness in size. Typically, normal DLLs have base
virtual address of 0 or 0x10000, unplacable due to existance of
process code, then 1st attempt will fail. But some system-related
DLLs such as DOSCALL1 or PMMERGE, these often have unique predefined
base address, that will cause sparse usage of shared address region.

"DLLBASING=OFF" prohibits 1st attempt, will bring efficient virtual
address usage in result.

Major side effects are unknown :) (debugging obstruction, possibly)
