Do disabled tags have an impact on the Ignition Gateway and consequently on the server?  
For example, can you have 1 million disabled tags without impacting the server? Probably not, but can we quantify that?

In one of my projects, I have 50 thousands disabled tags, without any noticeable perfomance impact. Maybe you can try 10% every step?

You can expect them to still hold RAM, but not use CPU. Maybe a slight impact if you use scripted tag browsing much, or the bulk alarm status functions.
