Yeah, We have a few people with a ton of subdomains and it always knocking out some of their services, httpd, cPanel, Exim without any server load or anything like that. I think if they would have just used mod_rewrites it would solve their problems but I get paid to fix server misconfiguration and not develop websites. They run like 1000 subdomains and it just chokes out Apache. I haven't been able to prove it just yet but all 3 of these dedicated clients share the same issues and all have an abnormal amount of sub domains on some kind of CMS script like WP. I'm a Drupal guy anyways but willing to give WP a try down the road once I dip into more blogging down the road I'm sure.
