I've only seen this touched on in other threads. Under developer options, there is a menu for Background Process Limit. Has anyone played around with this? Possibly help multi tasking?

Some people have said limiting it to 4 will help reduce lag but I have yet to see a dev give their opinion.

I read over at XDA that changing it to 4 will help with Sense reloading issues. I would get about about 4-5 Sense reloads a day and since I changed the setting to 4 I haven't noticed Sense reload once.
So then my question is what is the standard limit?
No one knows and until they release the source for the phone, no one will.
It really doesn't matter much, anyway... since this doesn't really have anything to do with the problems we are having with multitasking and memory management.
How do you know that? Without knowing the standard limit who knows of setting this value to 4 is good or bad?
Because further limiting is not the issue. The phone, in it's stock form, is not freeing enough memory for allowing apps to continue to run without being frozen in a snapshot state. That is, if I understand the problem (on which I am not an expert, and have already lost some of what I learned). I do remember my conclusion, however.
I understand that. But what if the standard is supposed to be 16 but for some reason it is only 4 (no better than the max developer limit).
This phone has twice the memory of our beloved OG EVO, but one quarter the ability to multitask. I refuse to believe it is simply a memory issue. Sure Sense 4 takes a lot of memory, but not enough to blame completely.
I know this much... I changed it from the default to 4 processes and I have not experienced one single Sense reload all day. I changed this setting last night. Yesterday alone it happened about 3 or 4 times. And this was my first full non stop day with this device so my usage was heavier today than yesterday. So if nothing else it helped that issue.

Interesting, when I tested the same thing, every time I would go back to the home screen sense would reload. I had to change back to the default settings
