Default Long press menu idea: clear cache/data/force stop

Is it possible to create something that allows you to long press on an app (say, an icon on a homescreen) and, from a pop-up menu, clear data/cache/force stop ? (all separate options)

Reason:

It's a pain in the ass to go to Manage Applications, wait for the list to populate (you can't even search within this list) and then scroll until you find the app you need to mess with.

I think it would be really useful but not sure how feasible it is. Any ideas?

The imfamous Manage Applications real world benchmark speed test. Here's a hint if you get an overclocked voodoo kernel that list is scrollable right from the get go and it finalizes in alphabetical order with icons in seconds

Hah, good test!

I have tried that with an OC kernel, though, and did not experience the instant sorting

Not for me. Never kill apps and almost never clear cache
