Stopping app clutter

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

Sometimes I find my tablet bogging down for no apparent reason. When I look in apps, running, i find a huge number of cached processes. On a 1 Mb ram tablet, just running with 1 app, it may be 3/4 of memory blocked up. If i end cached processes, by end or by force stop, (youtube , skype, all kinds of crap that i did not start seem to be running) I can cut the memory used to about 1/2 mb.

So my question is how can you block this stuff from starting itself? It should start when I start it only! Seems like basic logic. The tablet starts to run fairly fast when you clean out the junk processes.

if you're on an Android, go get the Advanced Task Killer

I just hit it every hour or so and it clears out a lot of dumb shit that's running

If you are on iOS you double click the home button. Then you flick each app up to kill it.

I got one of the android process killers. There were over 100 on the play store, seems like a common problem.
