I believe this depends of the amount of free memory (RAM) available for applications to run. When this amount of memory drops below a certain value, explorer automatically closes applications to free memory so that you can run another application. The amount of free memory depends of what kind of application is running.

Yes it is because of low memory settings in the phone. After your phones reaches a certain treshold level for the memory left from the running programs, it starts to close background programs. Originally, this treshold value is so low which causes to close almost every program running on background. check out this thread to change the value (you'll need a registry editor for it):

so, what is the drawback of changing the treshold to a higher value? If so many programs start to run on background, it will result in a short battery life, because every data on the memory uses power, which means you need to close unnecessary programs using the built-in task manager or with any 3rd party task manager (I'm using SP Task Manager, which is a freeware). Add a shortcut for the task manager so you can easily start it whenever you want.
