When I suspend an account, are its background processes killed, or do they keep consuming CPU?

The core suspension command `sudo /usr/bin/booston-core suspend_user [username]` disables the user's Nginx vhost, disables SSH/FTP access, kills all running processes owned by the user's UID, and stops their PHP-FPM pool.
