I have heard that WRKACTJOB does continue
to run in the background

 <<Snip>>

Do a WRKACTJOB, F3, wait a few minutes and
do another WRKACTJOB.  The "Elapsed time"
will show the total time since the first
WRKACTJOB - so something must be collecting
information during that time.

          --------------

This is not necessarily indicative of
continuous information gathering - the
process could just go to sleep (e.g. do
nothing, use 0 CPU cycles, etc.) until you
press F5.  The process knows when it
started and what the current time is -
coming up with an elapsed time is a simple
calculation.  In point of fact, I know I've
seen several posts on this thread that
indicate that's exactly what happens. 
'Course, each time you do press F5 it does
resample the entire system, which does take
CPU - but nothing is necessarily happening
between screen refreshes
