The right way to do this is to watch the amount of paging that the
system's doing (on this process, which you can get out of
getrusage() as ru_majflt ), and collect more often as the amount of paging
increases; that adapts to the dynamic load on the system.

I think I'll try implementing this quickly and seeing how it goes.
