One issue here is that isUnderMemoryPressure() doesn't actually tell you if the system is under memory pressure. Instead it just tells you if your process has received a critical memory pressure notification. They're not the same thing.

Maybe we need a new method isSystemUnderMemoryPressure() that checks the system-wide kern.memorystatus_vm_pressure_level sysctl on a timer or something. I guess we can implement that in another patch.

I could change to kern.memorystatus_vm_pressure_level here. Worth it?

I can probably write another patch that tries to do something sensible. My guess is the patch would also require a small sandbox change. Let's go with the speedo win here for now and we can test that change separately.
