An approach similar to what we currently do in the browser has been proposed for WebKit, as an alternative on configurations where memory cgroups are not available, see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155255.

However only MemFree is considered, and there are two (arbitrary) thresholds:
 - 300MB: non critical memory pressure
 - 100MB: critical memory pressure

I am going to experiment with this approach and will report back here.
