Hello and welcome to Android Forums!

A couple of questions for you:

• Did you root your tablet, as superuser is usually installed when rooting?
• Why do you want to remove it - if you are rooted, it's important to have this to grant superuser permissions to apps that require it?

Also, you mention a task killer:

Q: Should I use a Task Killer
A: In short, No - do not use a Task Killer!

If you take nothing else from this thread and just heed the above, then this has been worth it.

Seriously, to a certain extent, they weren't needed on Eclair (2.1) and they were definitely not needed in Froyo (2.2). Given the Desire HD ships with Froyo, I'll let you do the math. Android is designed to be its own task killer, just let it do its job, it is pretty good at it. Just because you see an app held in RAM, that doesn't mean it's taking up battery. I hear things like "I use it to free RAM to make my phone faster/make XXX run better". If Android needs more RAM, it'll free it of its own accord as and when required. If you notice your phone acting sluggish, reboot. If it's consistent, check what's taking up CPU usage and if it's an app you've installed, uninstall. If it's one of the stock apps, post here, I'm sure someone will be able to help.
