2) Killing apps could have an adverse effect on some os tasks

3) Let the Linux os take care of closing apps. It will free up memory on its own if needed.

With all that said, I still have the app killer running on this ROM because I'm too lazy to remove it.
Minfreemanager modifies the mb limits. From what I understand, its not an app killer but it just tells the OS when to close apps on its own. Hence the max and min levels.
