No, the GM is only started as a child process when graphics needs to
be converted - that's true for both static and dynamic. If you use
wrapper.sh, then bash is started as a child process and it starts the
GM. Once the processing is done, GM terminates. In fact, GM can't run
in the background.

Is this restriction based on default php.ini configuration only or is
it something enforced with SELinux contexts?

On another subject - I think we need to split the "Administrator"
section in Wiki into 2 - for TYPO3 Admins and for Sys Admins (who may
never use TYPO3 but need to support it as an application running on
their servers). This way, best practices in TYPO3 permissions and
group design will go one way, performance fine-tuning and GM/IM
questions the other.

Are you managing the Wiki project or is it someone else? I may be mistaken.
