Please look at the chapter on 'Zend_Controller Basics', which outlines
how the dispatch process works:
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.controller.basics.html
In there, you will see that once inside the dispatch loop, the
preDispatch() and postDispatch() plugins are called before and after
each action, respectively. The other plugins trigger at their
appropriate times before and after the dispatch loop.
So, while you wouldn't be triggering all plugins on each iteration of
the loop, those preceding the dispatch loop will have already been
triggered -- meaning if you create your ACL list early, you need only
check each action against it in preDispatch().

I would suggest that any postDispatch() plugin you write for handling a
request stack would first check to see if there's already a forward
request. This is trivial to do:
if ($this->getRequest()->isDispatched()) {
// _forward() detected
return;
}
// now process our request stack...

I'm not sure I understand the question.
