    I believe what you're looking for is a working set scheduler. In a
nutshell, this type of scheduler pages a job against itself rather than
against the system (i.e. the pool of available pages belongs to the process
(rather than the system) and is of a size set by the system when then process
is created). Unfortunately, I can't think of an available OS that uses a WS
scheduler off the top of my head (that doesn't mean they don't exist!). Good
luck.
