Also it does NOT keep them "open." This is a terrible misconception.
Total android newbie here... so bare with me...

What you are saying is that the task killers killing the app makes the phone work harder to keep the apps "open" and the act of constantly "turning them back on" is more of a battery hog than anything?

Wonder why I get better battery life with the task killer running than without it? Any suggestions?
