I would advise taking a self-enforced break from using task-killers for three days. When I first got the phone, I was pretty obsessive about killing tasks. I decided not to use them for a few days and see how much of a difference it made. It made no difference whatsoever. The linux kernel is pretty good about decided which applications need how much memory, and will organise stuff itself. Besides - why have free memory? If there's nothing useful stored there then you're effectively paying for RAM you're not using. When a new task requests memory, the kernel will efficiently decides what gets the axe, and the user won't notice a thing.

For what it's worth, I still have TasKiller installed for those times when an app bugs out and starts to use all the CPU cycles.

The phone does get much less responsive when loads of apps are running in the background. It's not just the RAM you have to think about, it's the CPU too.

I used to find that when multiple apps run in the background, the OS wouldn't necessarily close off the oldest apps first. When I load a memory intensive program (App1) and then go to load App2, if I attempted to go back to App1 the OS had closed it.

Also apps running in the background do have an effect of battery life too.
