Developer Fraser Speirs has created a nice video that shows how iOS manages memory when backgrounding and multitasking.



The video is in followup to a post on his blog which addresses a misconception with iOS where users believe that clearing out their multitasking bar will improve the performance of their device.



TNW notes that there are five sections to Speirs' video:

● An app going from active to background to suspended

● Instacast HD requesting extra background time to finish a podcast download
