20% tax

I have a paper deadline coming up, and I am having a really hard time fitting into my page limit. I am realizing that this paper might be carrying too much information, but at least (in my humble opinion) all of the information is useful and necessary to understand what I am doing, and it just is not one of those dinky LPU's which go on and on about something and leave the reader with little more information than what they started with.

Actually, now that I look at it, I would be fitting within my page limit just fine, if I didn't feel obligated to kiss ass give due diligence to all the remotely related work by people running this conference. As is, it is chewing up 20% of my space!

What is your average related work and citation allotment?
