OK I need some feedback... After loving sense for several months now the novelty has worn off and I have purchased widgets that i am very happy with that I feel are better than the sense ones. So recently I killed off sense to try home out with the widgets I have to see if I could hang with 3 screens vs 7. I found that 3 is more than enough as I can use folders to group apps in on one screen which acts just like another screen. I was never using my far left and right screen anyway and after the 2.1 update we will get 5 with stock android. I have noticed definite response time increase in the dialer as well as load times for music and photos. The response from these were already optimized a bit as I had purchased a 16Gb class 6 card so load times for music and photos were helped by that but general phone response wasn't affected much by the addition of the class 6 card.

So my question is I have made the switch to having home as my default vs sense and gone to astra tm to kill off sense, freeing up 10.57Mb of memory (yes i have heard the arguments that free memory doesn't matter to Linux bases systems) but it keeps restarting the sense process within 5-10 min. Is there a way, without and actively searching task killer to keep processes like sense and footprints killed off permanently? Below are m screen shots running home and the process monitor with the memory sense uses.
