Well apps like Messaging, Email etc usually open up because if you are killing them constantly they don't receive. I know that was a problem a while back with texting and task killers, if you don't ignore that app you might not receive the texts right when they come in. As far as Nav, FM Radio, Qik etc....I don't use those, so I don't have them on my phone. Sometimes things have to start to function properly on Android, that is just how it is. The only things open on my phone right now, and I haven't killed anything since 10pm or so are Dolphin Browser (because I opened it and didn't exit), VM, Handcent, Market (because I downloaded MicDroid like an hour or two ago), MicDroid, and Gmail and I have no issues with slow performance or battery issues. Like I said, I also don't have a lot of what you have because I don't use it, although I do have a lot of other things.
