Also changing the order of commands might be helpful; as this script, despite killing hildon-home, which normally sorts out my Media-Player Widget problem, doesn't fix the Media-Player Widget problem, for me at least as I still have to run "killall hildon-home" manually after.
My strong suggestion would be instead of mass killall'ing many different apps/processes in a row, identify just those which actually do leak memory and impact performance, and then kill/restart them in right way, ie. with dsmetool or /etc/init.d script where possible, rather than blunt killall.
