try pull the skyrocket task killer .apk and installing it to system apps on ur gs3 u may need to root to change permissions though don't no for sure, task killers are 100% unnecessary but if u want this is how I'd go about it ...

Is there some benefit to that over the stock Task Manager built into the phone?
For some reason rather than show it as an app like Samsung had it on the Galaxy S 2, the Task Manager is in a different place on the GS3.
Press and hold the Home button and it will bring up a menu to select Task Manager or let you scroll through recent apps.
Not sure if that helps.

You can disable the double tap home button that takes you to S-voice or use second party launcher like Apex which is really fast, smooth and cucustomizable.

I have noticed it too and it stops when I kill off other running apps in the background by holding down the home button and swiping to remove the apps.

Home button lag!

I wanted to ask what do I have to do to minimize the going Home and to Recent Apps lag in stock 4.4.2. Any tips about the best kernel and optimizations to kill this lag beside switching to ART Runtime ?

Does it have to do with the S5 launcher?

How to remove all pages/apps previously viewed in multi view?

I'm referring to the multi view when hitting the square button. My S5 had a button to do this but don't see that on the 6p. Thanks!

I guess there no way to do this?

Not by default - and you mean the Task Switcher. Gravity box (an Xposed module) might be able to do it, but you'll need root

Xposed, custom ROM or maybe a launcher from playstore with the feature built in. There is a lot you can do really.

Not a launcher - that doesn't affect the task switch view

Chainfire has an app called "recently". It requires root, but can add a clear all button. Note that this actually kills the processes, not the individual "tasks" so things like music in the background will also get killed.
