task killer? AHHH I wondered about that. SO when I hit the end or back key the apps are NOT closing? how do I know? which task killer do you guys suggest?

I am a bit concerned about overclocking. I overclock in WM no problem but even stock in android the phone runs awful HOT. I mean while downloading and installing apps last night while plugged in I got concerned enough that I removed the back to let the battery cool faster.

seems to get "hotter than it should" while charging. is this normal?
Well the way Android works is it hold frequently used apps in memory as best it can. The theory being, the most used apps will open quickly, less frequently used apps will open more slowly. The system itself is supposed to be very efficient at managing this underneath with no need for any task killers

With that said, I have at times had to kill an app because it was running out of control, causing issues with sleep, etc. Other than that, I haven't really noticed any issues. I do wonder if some of these memory-managing values could use some tweaking (I hear they're in init.rc). I still haven't looked into it, but I'm planning on it. Already am looking into disabling apps on startup - I went a little crazy and now Android boots to a black screen. I think I disabled something I shouldn't have .

As for the heat, it seems random to me. All I can recommend is make sure everything is up-to-date (kernel, rootfs) and don't run 15 apps at the same time. Multitasking on this phone is not really possible. It's certainly not a pleasant experience.
