Keeping multiple pages open on RAM (Android App)

I use the Wikipedia app almost every day and one issue that I've encountered is this: The moment another tab is brought to the front, the previous tab is emptied from the RAM, so if you go back to it, it will take a few moments before it's loaded again. The problem is, if you want to compare some data between two pages, let's say the factsheet of two cities, it will be annoyingly slow, and every time you switch between tabs, you have to wait for it to reload and go back to the same position in the page. It would be really helpful to have the option in the settings to keep the tabs actively open (on the RAM) as long as the app hasn't been closed. Thank you for a great job!
