In a similar vein, there's a neat "Efficient Page Replacement" strategy described in a LeanStore paper [0] that combines random selection with FIFO:

> Instead of tracking frequently accessed pages in order to avoid evicting them, our replacement strategy identifies infrequently-accessed pages. We argue that with the large buffer pool sizes that are common today, this is much more efficient as it avoids any additional work when accessing a hot page

> by speculatively unswizzling random pages, we identify infrequently-accessed pages without having to track each access. In addition, a FIFO queue serves as a probational cooling stage during which pages have a chance to be swizzled. Together, these techniques implement an effective replacement strategy at low cost
