Currently running HydroRom, need memory manager?

[Dark Penguin]

Recently I flashed HydroRom. While it has greatly improved my internal data storage capacity, I'd still like to have an app killer, e.g. AutoKiller to monitor my phone's system, or at least check it every once in a while. Among other things, I'd like to see how much different the figures look now that I'm running HydroRom, before flashing which I was running rooted stock.

But somewhere in the back of my brain I seem to remember having read that, for GB and higher versions, app killers and memory managers don't do any good and serve no useful purpose, since the OS itself now does a much better job of managing its resources.

Would it do any harm to install the app killer anyway? Even if it doesn't actually improve the performance I'd still be interested in seeing the numbers.

System Panel is a great app to monitor you're phone, it allows you to see what is using processor, memory and when. This app with titanium backup is awesome! For example: I enjoy slacker radio, but for some reason @ 2 am slacker radio starts using processed power going from .2% up to 3% which than drains the battery. So this is where titanium backup comes into play, I just freeze that app to keep it from running at 2am and saves that battery or memory from being used. Unlike task killers that just kill apps and then they just restart automatically, which kills the battery. Since android 2.2 task killers just do more harm then good IMO.
