I came across a very nice utility that can reclaim the wasted RAM memory due to memory leaks or applications not releasing it once closed. This can eliminate the need to soft-reset your device frequently.
The application is called CleanRAM and can be found at http://www.htcaddicts.com/?id=110. It is donation ware so if you like it please consider donating to its creator.
You can also find some information about it on PPCGeeks: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=59447
Here is a description taken from its official website:
