I suspect you might have found something like a process from say a buggy VI memory cache/server is hung up and just needed to be killed. Of course a tool that helps just fix things can be very useful. But be careful with some of these tools. Some of them are really off in what they try to do, like you run them and suddenly the system shows more free memory... those can be total scams.
