Help Performance implications of using a different launcher

[tranceFusion]

When running something like Launcher Pro or ADW, does the Stock Launcher still consume resources?

Should I remove all the widgets and stuff from the stock launcher? Or is it laying there dormant behind the scenes? Does it stay loaded in RAM?

I'd like to know as well.

if I remember correctly...someone over at the Eris forums posted the default user interface shuts down after a long period of downtime (alot of us were using different launchers with the Eris)...but don't hold me to that

I installed LauncherPro about 2 days ago; I have *not* noticed a difference in battery life, or any slowdowns.

In fact, it seems faster than the motoblur launcher etc.

OK, when I filter manage services for "running", HTC sense obviously shows up when it's my homescreen and it still shows up when I use Home Switcher to switch to Launcher Pro.
Then I made LauncherPro my default and HTC Sense is still showing up as a running app - but never shows up in running services - but you can force stop it from there. I haven't had a chance to see if this affects the phones performance yet, though. Or, for that matter if HTC Sense will ever start up again - eek!
