Another thing that has to remembered is in a multitasking system there isn't really real multitasking, just process slicing. Even if an app is doing nothing it still maybe checking things or doing something in the background. The OS has to jump between these tasks constantly. Less programs running less jumping , how that affects the system is hard to tell.
But as i said before in previous post I seem to notice when I feel the need to to use taskkiller and check the memory values it almost always seem to be at around the 23mb mark.
It would be interesting to know what exactly is going on. linux may purported to work it a certain way and though that may work well for Pc's doesn't mean the same is true for mobiles.
So is it memory, multitasking processor slicing, bad app programming or a combination of the three?
