I have no great love for RT's, but AIX is a fine System V Unix. If you don't
like the default partitioning change it. I have never installed a Unix, and
not reworked the partitioning. I figure that's my job. I have only set one RT
with AIX, others with BSD, The AIX machine was much easyer to setup. 

Your using more that 16 ptys? Wow, that must be a slow moving RT.
