A request is received to load a first page into main memory with the main memory containing a plurality of page frames. It is determined that none of the plurality of page frames is an empty page frame. User input is referenced to determine a target memory resource consumer. A second page is selected which is loaded in a first page frame. The second page is associated with the target memory resource consumer. The second page is moved from the main memory to a secondary storage device. The first page is loaded into the first page frame.
