Compressors and EQs win out to McDSP's offerings. Not sure on the others.

I think in general , Compressors & Eq's are by far Much less CPU intensive ! Reverbs & Delay's are always going to be CPU Hungry !

Actually i use the SSL's Comps & EQ's all the time ! They bearly use any noticeable CPU ............. Bonus

The lowest dsp delay I think is Synchronous if you only use the delay. Also 3Plex and Titus are very light.
Regarding reverb Softube Spring Reverb is surprisingly low.
