When I took it into Verizon to complain about it their response was, "Oh, you need to install a 3rd party task killer on the phone, and a few times a day open it up and close all the programs that are running in the background." I decided to return it instead.
Okay... mind you. I carry different devices because they fulfill different criteria.

Smartphone where the overlay is in browsing. But the moment I need a desktop version, and since I don't have my N900 any longer... I carry an ICS Android tablet because it has Flash. I also edit some office documents, e-mails, et al... but for my work, I carry a laptop for that kind of work and ease of use.

Despite the overlaps, I have to say that I'm honestly a bit confused in what you want now due to your answer.

Oh... and task killers in Honeycomb and ICS. I would say look at something like Watchdog since what it does is create a rule where tasks that spike in mem or cpu usage gets too high.
