OS load aside, a few things to keep in mind to manage expectations: Realistically, with its very slow CPU and other components, as a VPN endpoint it would perform very poorly. Without encryption the wrap can barely manage in the neighborhood of 20Mbit/s, with a VPN it would be much slower. Its newer (but still outdated) descendant the ALIX could only manage 8-15Mbit/s of VPN throughput without an accelerator enabled (depends on the encryption algorithm). Last I saw, the wrap couldn't even manage 2Mbit/s of encrypted traffic with 3DES, and though AES-128 would be faster, even 2-3x of 2Mbit/s is not much. Between that and the age of the hardware, I'd not trust them in the wild at this point for that role. The WRAP went EOL in 2007, and the ALIX isn't far off. The newest WRAP would still be 8 years old. I've got one tucked away on a shelf here but it hasn't been powered on in many years.
