Unnecessary loading of apps

Hi all, I own xperia Neo V. Rooted recently. I found that a few apps like Hill climb racing, Zedge, Youtube Latitude etc.. are constantly loading as widgets or under other category into my RAM. I installed android assistant to see the list of processes in memory and found that these apps are loading constantly. RAM gets equipped quite soon and system performance gets degaraded. I also installed Next Launcher 3D. Would it be any cause for this? I also tried a few task killer apps especially from one of the XDA developers (Boost my Xperia) it is excellent, frees up memory by removing unncessary apps, but after a few minuts, RAM gets laoded by leaving only 35-40MB of free space.

Would anyone please suggest/guide me in managing memory efficiently?

Killing task won't help, since Android must restart all killed (sticky) tasks. Using ICS or later, you can disable many of them at the same place you usually uninstall them -- or uninstall them (mutual exclusive options). Also, don't look at "free memory". Memory is not supposed to be "free". Free memory is wasted memory, and Linux always try to use all memory in the most appropriate way. If fewer apps, more space goes to buffers, caches etc, always resulting about the same amount of free memory in the end.

If you are rooted.. try the greenify app.. which will put the background apps in hibernate mod if they are idle for sometime.. this will save your ram and battery..

Yeah. I was gonna suggest greenify too.
Next launcher takes a lot of RAM, around 80 MB. Try some other light weight launchers.
