Task Manager - Samsung Galaxy S III User Manual

Task Manager

Your device can run applications simultaneously, with some
applications running in the background.
Sometimes your device might seem to slow down over time, and the
biggest reason for this are background applications. These are
applications that were not properly closed or shutdown and are still
active but minimized. The Task Manager not only lets you see which
of these applications are still active in the background but also easily
lets you choose which applications are left running and which are
closed.
Note: The larger the number of applications running on your phone,
the larger the energy drain on your battery.
