How computationally expensive is filtering and ignoring?

Hello,

I realised that I dont ignore and/or filter out topics and/or tags because I think they are costly for the servers.

Is there something to it or is it almost free?

Can I help alleviate the cost by going back and "unignore" posts that won't clutter my frontpage any longer since they aren't active?
