Is there something like the Windows TaskManager for the Blackberry which shows the load/activity of applications?

I ask, because I have two apps from TimeMatters which are killing my battery -- I think. Without these apps, my 8700 only needs charging about every 2nd or 3rd day. With them, it will go from full charge, to radio off in about four hours. I've told the app maker, but I'm told that this has never been reported before.

FYI, TimeMatters is a law office management database program for Windows. The BB apps let you sync a portion of the mothership dB to the BB. The main tables in the Windows main app are Events, Contacts, Cases, Tasks and Notes. I had only been trying to use the Events and Contacts sync. These apps stand alone on the BB. That is, TM does not sync the Events into BB's calendar or the Contacts into BB's address book.

I know about the task-switcher for BB (alt-esc) that lets you switch between running apps, but I don't know how to determine (1) activity level of any app, (2) or to kill any app. If I could just use the TM apps when needed, then kill them from running, it might solve my problem.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
