from the article:
“Buffers and cache in RAM being cleared is silly. Imagine a professor, who rather than writing all the way across the chalkboard, finishes a sentence and immediately erases and starts writing in the upper left corner AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN OR imagine you like a song. You record it to the beginning of a cassette tape. When you want a new song, do you re-record over the first song or record after it?” |
As was mentioned earlier, task killers are prolly not needed if the apps are written well. But as most of us know...most apps are not written well and they do not go into sleep mode and as it has been proven in the battery threads, a non-sleeping app can keep you phone "awake" and therefor eat up your battery.
Use a task killer. Your better off.
