I've actually heard that the task killer apps aren't good - android phones are made to run apps in the background, and it makes it work harder since it has to constantly restart apps. But I don't know if that's true or not.
I suggest first deleting every app you can that you don't use. Not including system apps, which won't let you delete them anyway.
Then, disable any built in app that you're not using. If you go into your applications through the settings menu, there should be a disable button on the top right for each app that you are able to disable. For example, NFL Mobile came with my phone, and I couldn't give less of a shit about sports. So I disabled it, since I can't uninstall it.
Getting rid of any apps you don't use should help a lot with RAM.

I just discovered the "disable" function after finding out that NFL Mobile couldn't actually be uninstalled and then went disable happy on the other stupid apps like that. So far, that seems to be working!
I'm also going through and disabling notifications for a lot of other apps, hoping that will cut down on A)The obnoxious twittering that my phone barfs at me all day long and B)Battery life/RAM usage. I have no proof that it will change either one of those, but logically it seems as though if an app knows I don't want notifications, it'll chill out a bit. :-P

I haven't found any news apps with a widget and breaking news notifications except CNN. And I don't want CNN's brand of "news."

Depends if it's still under warranty. Unlike jailbreaking, rooting has always been legal, but it does void your warranty and if you send your phone in for anything they'll find out about it. If that isn't a problem for you, rooting is pretty great because it allows you to get rid of pre-installed bloatware and download apps that help your phone run better.
The other downside besides warranty cancellation is that you have to be careful what apps you download - you open yourself up to viruses and spyware. Do research before downloading any. Also before rooting make sure you find a good set of instructions and follow them carefully, because it is possible to brick your device trying to root it.
