There are so many poorly written apps, it's a joke. Android does a very poor job of vetting them. As far as task management, that depends solely on what apps are running and what services they call for. Droid does well by itself, but if you have poorly written apps, it all goes to shit. Task manager is good as a diagnostic tool. It's either that or uninstall until the problem goes away. I'd rather have an educated guess. As far as dependencies go, try shutting down services that are not core and see how fast some come back. Once again, a clean install works well, but apps can end that shortly. I have had my nightmares.

Try shutting down a core service in Windows and see how far that'll get you!! You won't find many apps that are dependencies, whereas you'll find plenty of core services that apps depend on. The task manager I used won't let me kill core services. I literally can't tell the difference between task manager or not with my phone though. Truth is, if you cancel a call to an app, Android will respawn it... so things are open only as long as they need to be. The only way to solve an app being called is to uninstall it!
I don't disagree on the core services. I am simply speaking to the fact that many apps run services in the background that don't need to be running if the app is not active, therefore slowing the phone down. I agree on task killer and the difference at idle. However at times even I can tell if I have to many background services running. I use task killer as a diagnostic tool. It gets put on my phone if I have an app causing issues and then I remove it. I really try to stretch my phone to do many things it was never intended for and sometimes it can be a headache trying sort what services are causing a conflict. I was proposing that Hijpo use it a diagnostic tool, not to spped up his phone.
And about your Americanisms. Who gives a shit how it's said? Really? It's just language.
