Like LRU, but using time to second most recent reference, instead of
most recent reference, to sort the buffers for recycling. This gives
a more robust statistic about how often the page is actually being
touched. (Or that's the theory anyway.)

Manage dirty buffers separately from clean ones, you mean? Hm, we could
do that. With WAL it might even make sense, though before we tended to
flush dirty buffers so fast it would hardly matter.
