I'm sceptical. The problem is not with "Samsung not managing the apps" - that's done by the Android Framework and Samsung are very unlikely to alter that. If an app eats CPU all the time, it will do so on a Samsung device or any other Android device. Android has what's call "wake locks"; while an app holds a wake lock the device will not suspend (enter deep sleep mode); a misbehaved app could hold and not release a wake lock, causing quick battery drain. Such an app would misbehave on any Android device, the app manager built into Android does not kill apps based on how much CPU they use, but based on how many resources (memory) are available; background apps will be killed to make room for foreground ones.
