Scientific application would also benefit. Consider Michael Cox and David Ellsworth's "Application-Controlled Demand Paging for Out-of-Core Visualization". I see two types of potential benefits with respect to control over physical resource usage: qualitative (what pages should be evicted) and quantitative (how much memory is available).
