It's the "most" I have a problem with. Escape doesn't close everything out of Switch Application (it has zero effect on Opera Mini, for example), so we have to assume it doesn't always communicate effectively with third-party applications at least. I've never had a problem with the preinstalled software persisting in memory, I grant you, but I will say that the only thing that works for me 100% of the time is closing the application I am using from within that application. And since I'm NOT having to reboot constantly due to memory problems, I'd say it's been a pretty effective strategy so far.
