If I run Weechat on my VPS, and join a few high-traffic IRC rooms, I expect my average CPU use to be 0%. Same if I run mailman with a few messages per minute, or an IRC server.
The fact that we can now run it on a VPS is an improvement, but it is still orders of magnitude heavier than equivalent non-decentralized systems.
