No, the process is kept in memory (but possibly swapped after some time, for which the n900 has plenty?).
But it does not use the cpu anymore. And for huge apps (maps?), freeing memory would still mean some startup time when reactivating the application. Just my opinion, I don't have much experience in that area.
