Does switching user accounts in Lollipop affect battery life or performance? I recently updated my Moto G2 to Android
Lollipop via OTA update. I've successfully
installed the update(around 500mb i
guess). I saw the new feature of adding
new Guest and New user acccounts just
like the one in PC's so that one user
doesn't get access to other user apps or
data.

So, say if I have some 10 apps running in
my owner account and it drains battery
while running in background. But then if I
wanted to switch to a guest account to
lend my phone to a friend or some
stranger, I cannot see any apps running in
the guest account in the recent apps
section that was open in the owner
account. So my question is,

Will those 10 apps that are opened and still
running in the background in my owner
account drain my battery while the phone is
in Guest mode?

or only the app that runs under my guest
account will have an effect on my phone's
battery usage.
From what I can tell, the multiuser feature DOES drain quite a lot of battery. Here is a screenshot of my battery stats - I have not logged in as the other user since my last full charge.
