Keep in mind that positive memory pressure is something that if done by more than a single application at a time, will completely break your system, and if done only one application at a time will severely reduce your performance predictability (but can indeed increase throughput).
So, what he talks about on that video is a very specialized performance optimization that may work on some (certainly not all) systems that you have complete control of. It isn't general advice in any way.
