I use a Cydia app called Multifl0w. It is a fairly good app switcher that works in concert with Apple's native multitasking and Backgrounder. It is activated the same as the native app switcher, by double tapping the home button, bit it also has Activator support, so you can set up how you want to activate however you prefer.

Only when the multi-tasking is made available, there would be need to monitor the consumption of resources and stopping or closing of apps other than the currently active one.
