Close Multitasking Apps Bar, Does it improve the performance of IOS?

Since Apple launched iOS 4, the operating system version (finally!) implemented the multitasking on the iPhone, iPhone and iPod Touch, we've all experienced the odd bar below when you press a button twice Home . It is, of course, multitasking bar, which presents a number of applications we've used recently, in chronological order.

However, there ends the information and control that the user has to multitask. We do not know if these apps are still open, if they paused or continue executing instructions, or return to the state in which we left when we left.

Other useful questions might still be: Does it help close the apps at the bar of multitasking when we do not use? Is it saves battery power and memory of the device to do it? Fortunately, a developer named Fraser Speirs apps will respond to this and other questions. This has had a detail record for all Internet video.

The above video shows what happens to the apps when you press the Home button. At the time when they pass background apps shows how are you still running instructions in the processor and memory space consuming RAM with the data you are using. Normally the CPU cycles are relaxed until disappear in the background, but RAM is still in charge, which is obvious on the other.

However, some apps need to execute instructions in this state even when dormant. For example, if you are downloading an app in the background will continue and therefore CPU cycles required to do so. Until recently the download does not stop executing instructions.

The conclusion we draw to see the video of this developer may be surprising to many. It frequently to close background apps can improve performance somewhat (especially in terms of RAM consumption), but usually this change will be invaluable in the user experience. A general tip is to close the most demanding applications like 3D games, if we release our iPad load or iPad 2 .

In any case, even though this means that multitasking in IOS is fairly well implemented from the standpoint of resource efficiency, there comes a time when we opened so many apps (20, 30 or 40) who did notice a drop in the flow and performance of our device. Therefore, two tips: closing apps heavier and do not go overboard with the amount of apps that keep running in the background.
