I don't know which uses more resources on the /400; but, if I had to guess, I would say TCP/IP.  However, I don't think it is enough to effect overall performance.  On the other hand, TCP/IP on the client side is much more reliable and far less of a resource hog than NS/Router.  You shouldn't discount TCP/IP too quickly.
