How important to battery life is it to use the back button to exit background processes

Every since learning that hitting the back button closes down the pages, and background "processes" on my lumia, I've been doing it religiously almost because I had the mindset that it will help out battery life. Well to be honest, I'm tired of doing it and its a pain in the ass, I like just hitting the home windows button. Does it really matter to battery life that much if say, I have internet explorer, messaging, phone, and mail all open in the "background"?

Nope, you shouldn't see too much of an issue, unless you have something that uses a lot of those background processes (like music) running at the same time. And a lot of those can be controlled in settings->applications->background tasks. In there, you can say what is allowed to use CPU when they aren't the app currently pulled up.
