Using SD card as RAM without resorting to a swap file

I'd like to know if there is a way of using an SD card as
active storage (RAM) that can be used as a space source by
HeapAlloc (or C# Marshalled equivilants).

One possible approach is to make a (temporary) swap file
together with some accounting and an ArrayList-like
interface, but such approach is far from ideal (for
starters it introduces a load of memory operations, which
is often a good way of wrecking performance)..
 
Using Flash for RAM is going to give awful performance anyway - I don't
think memory ops will be the limiting factor.
