I can definitely see the point the blogger raises about apps not sucking up CPU usage and battery life. However, I think that many blind people tend to use a good number of background apps at once. I use Awareness!, Music, and VO at once, and I'm sure that takes up a lot of memory. This might be an exception that proves the rule. I have never thought to wipe all the apps from the app switcher, though. When IOS started implementing "multitasking", this word was always put in quotes with a lot of grumbling from a lot of folks, saying that it wasn't "real multitasking". So, yes, I will be aware of the number of potential background apps I run, but won't go through and clear everything manually.
