[android-developers] Re: Application still Running After Exit

Why is that an *un*fortunate feature?

If your app is still running, it allows for a quicker startup next
time.

Even if cold or warm startup times are not much different from each
other, what is unfortunate by having your process still running? The
Android OS will kill it when it needs resources.
