Abstract: We obtain an expression for the active gravitational mass (Tolman) of a source of the gamma metric, just after its departure from hydrostatic equilibrium, on a time scale of the order of (or smaller than) the hydrostatic time scale. It is shown that for very compact sources, even arbitrarily small departures from sphericity, produce significant decreasing (increasing) in the values of active gravitational mass of collapsing (expanding) spheres, with respect to its value in equilibrium, enhancing thereby the stability of the system.
