I should try a day without using a task killer. It usually drops down to about 30mb after I open a couple apps. When it I see a little lag I kill all except some ignored apps like messaging, gmail, calendar, Alarm clock, Locale, Where`s my droid, facebook, and Google Voice. My free ram then shoots to about 70mb, and I do see a considerable speed improvement. I`m also worried about apps running in the background draining my battery, so I close them when I don`t need them. I`ll do a more scientific test over the next few days and report back.
