I think we should protect only basic GUI. On computers with 16G+ RAM
locking 1G memory with apps should not be a problem if it helps to
improve responsiveness.
Yup, fully agree. We only need to make sure the user remains in
control, we don't need to save random apps.

It was without swap, but with swap it has the same effect (faster
killer coming and system reclaiming) + responsiveness was improved
during heavy swapping.
Yeah. I think things may be different for GNOME with JIT'ed code
potentially getting swapped out.

However, the advantage of prelockd is that may be used on old systems
with any DE and any file system and an init. On Debian 9 Mate locking
150-200M takes very good effect. On Fedora with LXDE 200M is also
good value.
Entirely true. I just personally prefer aiming for the long term here.
