Root Autokiller?

I know what it is and what it does. My question is does it help? and at what settings? I'm new to the rooted X, I had a rooted Eris and all the roms I ran had it included in them. Do you guys use it? I'm stock rooted.
 
I have autokiller on my Dx.. nice cause sometimes some of my apps wont end when I back all way out so I can check and see what's still running. I don't really think it is a necessity for me but its nice
 
I use it all the time and it is not a task killer like many think. It is pretty complex but to sum things up it essentially bumps up the point(s) at which the system would start killing apps on it's own, which I think is around 32-40MB or so of available RAM. It doesn't just kill a random app but instead kills the ones that are not in use, sitting idle or not needed. Without it, once my available RAM gets down to around 50MB things start to get laggy. I have it set to around 85MB and things are always smooth and fast.
 
I love it. It makes my dx run as smoothly as a baby's behind. Liberty 1.5 also has a setting to auto kill, but you can't set it as aggressively as you can AutoKill.
