The bad thing about this is there is a chance of eating your battery because of running in the background.

The programs on the phone is running stripped down programs and are already light weight for the SOC cpu in the device.

If your device is really struggling, you may need to do a factory reset and baring that, breakdown and get a new device or send the one in for replacement.
