This is equivalent to saying that an invoice-entry program stays active so that invoices can be aged months later. There are _records_ kept (albeit in memory) of the latest statistics (just like there is a record of an invoice), and these are retrieved (from memory) when WRKACTJOB is restarted, or when F5 is pressed. The CPU hit is between the time you press ENTER on the command line that says WRKACTJOB (or press F5) and the time that the display appears on the screen. There is no "secretly active" process at all.
