I've spent a week reviewing the Bold N1 and the aggressive memory management is one of my huge complaints with this handset. Background apps are killed or flushed out of memory on an epic basis making multitasking almost impossible.
Real life example:
You're in Google Chrome in the middle of filling out a form on a website. You realize you need to copy some text from an email or another app and paste it in the form you're in the middle of filling out in chrome, so you load up gmail and copy text from an email. Then you use the square navbar button to open your list of running apps and you go back too your Google chrome to paste the text into your half completed form only to discover that Chrome has to reload itself and your half completed form is now completely empty!
This isn't exclusive to Google chrome on the Bold N1 - it could be any app and switching back and forth between them. I've seen old phones with 1GB of RAM handle multitasking better. The N1 has 4GB of RAM and it acts like it's starving. It's maddening and absolutely ludicrous!

By default, the multitasking is simply awful. The phone can't seem to hold more than 6 or 8 background ups in quick succession, and idling only makes it worse. This really drags down the phone like it did with the S6. Some argue that Samsung opted for this route for cache reasons, but it's ultimately annoying. However, some fixes have been found, coincidentally the same ones that work on the S6 & S6 Edge. Both the DHA and FHA build.prop edits make multitasking what it should be, so we have to thank XDA for that. If you are rooted, I recommend trying that. I haven't tested it extensively and better fixes might come around, but it does allow it to perform on the same level as the OnePlus 2 and ZenFone 2 in terms of app-holding.
@TachyonGun can you kinda go into detail on the multitasking u do?
I haven't toggled more than 4 apps and I'm very satisfied. My only gripe is some Apps do not support split screen or popup mode.
@jon_htc I do Google Slides + Google Docs in class, Youtube + Reddit or Youtube + XDA on breaks, Chrome + Wordpress for certain work-related situations, Papyrus + PDF readers for homework, and many other use-cases that just pop up during casual usage. The secret is to treat apps like windows instead of isolated islands that can be on-screen one at a time. For example, if I am watching a video and need to reply to a text, I shrink the video and open the text.
Havent noticed any ram or app background issues. Then again I may be part of the abnormal bunch and only use 1 or 2 apps at a time or dont constantly close and open tons of apps to prove something. Safe to say, I dont notice the issue and if it is there, it wont bother me.
i used to have a s6 and if note 5 got the same multitasking settings, it's gonna be very very annoying. the recent app reloading thing is simply the same experience on iPhone 6, which is awful. shouldn't happen on a 4GB ram phone.
Lets not forget that true multi tasking would be split view and multi window which is where the Note is the ruler of them all.
Switching between apps is part of multi tasking, but not the main part of it. But yes the ram management does reload some apps.
I had to use few tweaks and rom replacement. which made it much better.
If your still on lollipop with this phone. Stay where you are. The multitasking performance is about the same. If you multi apps running, like youtube and text messaging or twitch and facebook messenger its fast. I didn't see a major performance difference between lollipop and marshmallow. I don't close any of my apps, I mostly let them run in the background and not kill them. There was an issue on the note 3 yes, but the note 5 can handle multitasking and very good use of the new ram algorithm are a fantastic combination. This phone is fast, can handle all the apps. I Have about 50 apps running right now, multiple screen shots taking and saved, running messenger while watching HD youtube, Netflix and twitch with no problem.

So far from my usage the phone is SNAPPY! I tested opening about 26-30 apps and 90% of them resumed without having to reload but the ones that did need to reload took less than a second. Very impressed. (3GB Ram variant)
Pretty good, I'd say it can keep three memory intensive apps going at once, like a browser, YouTube, and a resource-intensive video game. After that you'll have to reload some stuff. Pretty much what you'd expect from this hardware, 3gb ram version. Rarely lags when opening recents menu. No complaints.

I use OneNote and have all my notes on this app. OneNote in windows Phone didn't give you a Badge, which drops an omnipresent, transparent Icon on every app screen you open for quick access to a note for when you need to write down a quicky note. Microsoft added this function for One Note on Android phones and must say it is useful and was much needed even before they included it for Android phones.

When i first got this phone, i wasn't familiar with Pie, and i didn't even realize i had a billion things open. So i think the Android One experience really shines in the multi-tasking area. You can even squeeze more speed by disabling all of googles features and services, however it does come to a point where disabling too much can make the OS shudder or just ruin seamless experiences. You will start to experience just a hair of that if you disable google services. However coming from a Windows phone im not sure if this is the norm.
On average right now i only use 3-4GB of memory
I will try to update this post as i go through a work week, to provide a more 'typical' experience.

Cache management is pretty good. Multitasking is quick. Everything is snappy and still the battery lasts long. You will be faster if you use on screen navigation bar for multitasking.
12 processes(38 services) running and 16 cached processes in the background. All kinds of apps. No hiccups.✌

Multitasking is very good. It can handle the 5-6 apps I can have open sometimes very well. Switches to them quickly and doesn't stutter. Firefox does not even reload it's tabs when I switch back to it. Very impressed.
