At least, that's my understanding of it.
As I have said in my previous post(s) I do not disagree with the ideology that Android/Linux has good memory management. But the very fact that the phone is more responsive and smoother when processes / apps are killed via taskmanager do little to support the claim. May be on paper.. but .. visually...not in this case IMHO.
