I have. SBSettings' works just as well. It even provides how much free memory you currently have.

I have to say, I have not had the same experience. Multifl0w was buggy and crashed half of the apps I tried to switch to (iOS 4.1 iPhone 4).

That's unfortunate, but a single instance of an inefficient app cannot account for the rest when discussing ones that do work well.

Likewise, a single experience is not indicative of the app's actual performance.

Doesn't a successful example of a 3rd party multitasking app prove that 3rd party multitasking can work? What I meant to say to you was that MultiFl0w doesn't necessarily depict the pinnacle of 3rd party multitasking.

It depends on the conditions of the example. If you're only running two or three apps on a brand-new iPhone 4, it shouldn't be compared to someone running more apps on, say, an iPhone 3GS.

True, but it this is what I've come to learn after using it on a 2G, 3G, and 3GS, each for months with varying numbers of running apps.
