Does suspended accounts use resources?

The title says it all, but let me be more specific: We make demo-accounts for our clients. After a given trial-time (30 days) we suspend the account. The suspended accounts pile up quickly and after some time we do a cleanup terminating most of the suspended accounts. The reason I want to keep them as suspended a while, is that sometimes a suspended customer comes back and wants to become a paid customer. I then would simply unsuspend.

• Would (example) 100 suspended accounts use resources on the server? Off course it takes up some storage space, but in our case its minimal. I am thinking of CPU and RAM.
• Also could a suspended accounts with malicious scripts be a potensial security concern, or is all access to shell/web/email - everything blocked while account is suspended?

Thanks!

  Not really - since they are inactive they wouldn't be receiving Apache requests or email or anything like that, so it's really just the disk space to store them.
