Not to mention that fact that the Android development team changed the "kill" function to "restart". This means that every single time you use a task manager to kill an app, it will re-start itself in about 25 seconds. You can try it if you don't believe me. You are literally wasting battery and CPU by starting up a whole lot of apps that were already running.
