Notes, nopageable locks the mmap in memory. Preload is an interesting flag, would be nice to know what that does.

Nonpageable memory is generally considered bad sportsmanship. What are the "critical" sections of xul.dll?
I would be interested to see if we could segregate little-used code, e.g. accessibility or xslt code, if we could demonstrate that most users will *never* load that code and we can avoid loading it at all. But I'm a little skeptical that given the breadth of our code, marking some pages as nonpageable will actually improve things if the OS gets into a state where it decides it wants to page Firefox.
