#This will limit memory used by background processes to 10MB.
#The default value is arround 70MB.
#In my phone only 3 processes are in this group:
#msyncd, obexd and the infamous smartsearch
while [[ `cat /syspart/system/background/memory.limit_in_bytes` != 10485760 ]]
do
echo 10M > /syspart/system/background/memory.limit_in_bytes
sleep 5
done

I'm no kind of an expert, just wondering... this quoted code - it limits the memory for background processes, thus killing some of them in case there's a need for more than 10MB by their side, thus phone lags due to restarting the (previously closed) processes when they are needed again... so maybe fine tuning this setting will lead to some kind of compromised solution that would give us a faster phone AND better battery life, without occasional lags due to 10MB background memory limit... anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...

EDIT: you mention 3 processes that belong to "background processes" - is there a list of all the possible bg processes, so that we could be aware (re)starting of which eventual process/app could eventually lead to, now just occasional, but bigger lag... ?
