Guitar Rig overload?

I've been recording some tracks with Guitar Rig engaged and monitoring it as I track the instrument to get the feel for what it's going to sound like - I'm then 'applying' the Gutar Rig effect to the track afterwards.

What my question is, when you apply Guitar Rig as a plug in (to your dry track) is that behaving as if you was recording with it in real time (eg. using an external stomp box pedal effect) or is it "running in the background" like a software driven effect that progressively slows the system down when you engage it on a whole heap of seperate tracks?

Is my CPU going to start struggling the more tracks I use it on? it seems like it would take the load off the CPU if you could record in real time using Guitar Rig rather that apply it later. My Computer is pretty powerful and could probably deal with it, but is it going to slow things down the more tracks I 'apply' it to?

I'm sorry if someone has asked this question before

Thanks ;)
