This is what top says for Aserve/ACL with 25 (idle) listeners (Aserve terminology)

  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
15772 lispweb    9   0  128M 128M  6112 S     0.0  3.6   0:33 alisp

So even if CPU usage goes up exponentially, there's nothing to worry about :-)
(The situation might be different with Portable Aserve/CMUCL though.)
