I find the APL process stats to be useful in gauging performance issues related to time, I/O and memory (see APL_STATUS_LINE.md for a key to the fields).
I can see your point, though: the status line does look "busy" and it eats up a line or two of vertical space. Putting this display in its own window is outside of my wheelhouse. In keeping with the "principle of least surprise", I'm sending Chris a patch to disable the APL process stats by default. They'll be enabled using the --apl-stats command-line option.
