Get an app that saves battery and automatically closes programs. What you may not know about the Iconia (and hence most android 3.0 devices) is that it multithreads and all the apps are still running. You have to shut them off to ensure a quality experience.
From everything I've read, this used to be true but isn't any longer as of Froyo. The OS handles all that very well. While the apps may still be in the "running" processes, they are using no system resources. They have no impact, and in fact, quitting them is detrimental in the long run because they have to reload from scratch (and some of them will restart immediately in the background, not just when you manually open them.)
There was a huge debate on one of the Android forums that went on for many pages and, again, I'm sorry I didn't save the link. But the Android developers all strongly supported not force-quitting apps, and the evidence on the other side was largely hearsay from users, so I decided the folks who actually work on the OS probably knew what they were talking about.
