Why You Shouldn't use a Task Killer on Android

[Ink]

As a new, (less than 7 days) Android user, I saw noticed some member here used 'CCleaner for Android', so although be being a CCleaner user for Windows, I still couldn't find myself to install the app on my new tablet. Whilst on Google, I stumbled across this article about the "most requested" feature for CCleaner for Android, and why you shouldn't use it, or any other for that matter. Read more,

Android Doesn’t Manage Processes Like Windows

Most Android users are familiar with Windows. On Windows, many programs running at one time – whether they’re windows on your desktop or applications in your system tray – can decrease your computer’s performance. Closing applications when you’re not using them can help speed up your Windows computer.

However, Android isn’t Windows and doesn’t manage processes like Windows does. Unlike on Windows, where there’s an obvious way to close applications, there’s no obvious way to “close” an Android application. This is by design and isn’t a problem. When you leave an Android app, going back to your home screen or switching to another app, the app stays “running” in the background. In most cases, the app will be paused in the background, taking up no CPU or network resources. Some apps will continue using CPU and network resources in the background, of course – for example, music players, file-downloading programs, or apps that sync in the background.

When you go back to an app you were recently using, Android “unpauses” that app and you resume where you left off. This is fast because the app is still stored in your RAM and ready to be used again.​

A loop process and sometimes without task killer makes everything sufficient, therefore only small efficient of effect apply temporarily.
