When too many applications are running (compared to the available RAM), SGS3 does state remembering SIGSTOP+CONT where maemo and harmattan tries to swap, slows down, stalls, makes me wanna reboot the device.In the advanced settingsI can tune to have max 3 background processes running rather than maximise available RAM for the foreground apps and services.
You do realise that you are now comparing a device that is 3years old to one that has just been released along with its OS which has had multiple upgrades since the n900 came out?

I will agree, that ICS bought a great leap forward in multi-tasking for Android and with a handset like the sgs3 with it's 2012 hardware it makes even the tombstoned task switching and the apps that are allowed to multi task a breeze. (almost to the point that you cannot tell which is which).

But still, we are comparing a modern OS and hardware specs to the aging N900. (as awesome as it still is)
