The process is held in memory so you can switch back to it very rapidly (i.e. all the setup is already there, no need to reload everything like bitmaps from disk), that's all. You should see this a user-friendly optimization :-) And what the long-press HOME displays is actually a least-recently-used list of applications, I'm not even certain that all the corresponding apps have a process in the system. I'm pretty sure that the "6" is a display limitation made to keep the UI simpler. > Do I understand well? > > On May 11, 11:06 am, David Turner <[email protected]> wrote: > > Essentially, the system will kill application processes to make room for > new > > ones in case of contention.
