What a thorough job of confirming the results. Remarkable scientific method. It's great to see a master at work.
Using a cache killer is kind of like waiting for your pond to fill every morning, and then opening the dam to drain it quickly every day when you go home. When you return, you have to wait to fill the pond all over again before you can swim. That wastes resources. If you leave the pond filled, you just dive in.
A lot of these tools just make the user feel good by showing unused resrouces, but actualy impair app performance, and in turn overall system performance. Snake oil.
I put "cache cleaners" in a similar category. Indiscriminantly clearing cache for apps will slow apps down, and in turn the system. The cache is there for a reason, and that is to enhance application performance. Cache is used to keep frequently used data available, so it does not have to be recreated, reread from separate and sometimes numerous individual files, or downloaded from the network each time it is requested. If Android needs the space for something else, it removes the cache. This is handled on an as needed basis to enhance the performance of apps in general. When you forcibly remove cache for certain applications, you circumvent a significant performance enhancer, and in general, slow the system down. The system is slowed because it has to keep repeating work that it already did. Again, when Android needs the space, it has no problem reclaiming it.One final quick question though, if you don't mind. What about cache cleaners? Are they ok to use often? I'm running 1-Tap Clean Cache a few times a day to free up memory.
