I'll play around with it on the side and see what sort of results I get. I won't be pushing anything any time soon in relation to this though. For now, I don't intend to fiddle more with grouping pages by mobility for something that may or may not be of benefit to a feature that hasn't been widely tested with what exists today.
I watched the videos you posted. A nice and quite clear improvement with and without your logic. Cudos.
When you play around with it may I suggest a change to the display of the memory information. I think it would be valuable to use a Hilbert Curve to arange the pages into pixels. Like this:
# # 0 3

### 1 2
### ### 0 1 E F
