Well, perhaps not enormous but considerable amount of resources ircd
takes. This is from SparcServer 10/30 running Solaris 2.4 and 19 clients 
and one uplink connected to the server: 
  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE   RES STATE   TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
11162 irc       13    0   12M   11M sleep  59:38  3.68%  3.68% ircd

Yes indeed, and "wasting" an Amiga to be just a non-interactive server 
isn't IMHO very attractive option...
