It stops all background tasks.
(Assuming you're referring to what Amazon calls the Kindle "off" state, reached by holding the slider for ~5 secs until the screen goes blank - no screensaver shows.
It's called "off" but it is actually more of a true sleep or hibernate, because it holds the session in memory, so it wakes up instead of boots up, when you switch it back on.)
In what Amazon calls "sleep," - "screensaver mode" - the Kindle isn't so much asleep as it is "locked." i.e., the keys are not being monitored, but other background tasks continue, including indexing, wireless downloads (if wireless wasn't turned off before sleeping), and even TTS and audiobooks.
You achieve this "sleep" state either by a quick slide of the switch or waiting 10 minutes for the Kindle to go to sleep on its own.
Since these tasks can drain the battery completely, Amazon says you should not use screensaver mode for more than a few days. You should use the "off" mode instead.
