However, to my experience sometimes the OS runs low on memory without killing tasks, resulting in sluggish performance (most noticeable on iPhone 4 or older devices).
In those cases it DOES help to manually shut down apps, because it will free up memory.
I know you shouldn't have to, but to me it seems the OS may be just bit optimistic on how little memory is needed to run smoothly.
If the OS was a bit more aggressive as to the amount of minimum free memory, this would not be a problem, but this is of course Apples decision.
What are your comments to this?
Currently if I run Instruments (v2.7), I only see processes on my Mac, no mention of the iPhone's processes (with it plugged in via USB).
