Memory protection (memory.{min,low}) helps the important jobs less

What would happen if you applied memory.{min,low} to the important jobs
and memory.{max,high} to the low prio ones?

I might expect that the memory of low prio jobs gets reclaimed first.
Specifically we set memory.low to protect the working-set for important
jobs. Due to the best-effort behavior of 'low', the important jobs can
still be affected if not enough memory reclaimed from the low prio ones.
And we don't use 'min' (yet?) because the need for flexibility when
memory is tight.
