@gabrielesvelto How does this relate to unload-tabs-on-memory-pressure mechanism? (I would naively expect that to always run out of unloadable tabs first; is that the case?)

@robryk that's a very good question! It provided small benefits compared to this, so we're repurposing it: we want to unload tabs when we're low on physical memory to prevent swapping. This way we'll have two distinct mechanisms, one to prevent crashes and one to improve responsiveness by avoiding swapping.
