It looks like I need to repeat a couple of themes from this post (from me). I have never said Android needs a task killer to run or that it is a cure-all (panacea) for Android. But it does do a better job of killing apps than doing it yourself or simply letting Android do it alone.
As most people know, third party apps are a way of life for Android. You can improve almost every capability with these applications. If you have a lot of applications, nn this case ATK does a better job of killing tasks than doing it alone or letting Android do it. For now, it is an effective option. It is much more efficient.
I am arguing that Android will run faster when you have most of the apps closed. Many people seek that ability to make their phones faster and improve battery life. ATK does both of these extremely well. The fast that it continues to be a top download on the Market would suggest that many/most phones users are not satisfied with Android alone.
There may be other task killers that cause more problems (and have had user have bad experiences). The only one I’ve used is ATK.
Like any 3rd party apps, ATK isn’t for everyone.
I’ve used benchmarks to demonstrate to the increases (2 different benchmarks).
On the Atrix, the Task Manager doesn’t show Cached apps (but it does show running apps and amount of CPU used by each). But this is where you can set up the phone’s own task killer (the phone calls them the “Auto-End” list).
With regards to the Anti Task Killer contingency, there is a notion that the use of task killers is not beneficial. Like any debate, there are many sides of the argument and strong opinions.
I hope this helps!
