This is where lots of people are wrong, it depends on the shoutbox. Some don't use up as much resources as others, and are pretty much text on a screen relayed back to the board. Depends on the shoutbox settings too.
They shouldn't use up too much bandwidth too. Some act like a mini thread on a forum. But it all depends on what kind of shoutbox you have on your site. flash based ones tend to take up more resources.
