Don't go there... This is problems already handled by the kernel. Things that 
have not been used for a while are swapped to disk when memory pressure rise. 
At best we could have some handle to be called when the kernel wants to swap 
and compress/clean the data first, but this would be OS specific.

You also have to realize that reparsing the page can also mean refetching 
parts and reexecute scripts. This mean the page you come back might not the 
same anymore.
