It sounds counterintuitive, but we've found it helpful to put a single reef in the mainsail -- especially in light air -- when trying to sail deep with the asym. This lets the breeze spill over and fill the chute. It is such a huge sail that having it draw nicely more than makes up for the lost mainsail area.
Otherwise we would be limited to a much higher reaching angle and the VMG would go way down.
