No. On Un*x systems there is a fixed limit to the number of processes. On linux you run out at 512 or so if you don't modify the source. But anyway, the daemon itself only needs to keep the configuration data around. Once the daemon has started up, it will only need to allocate memory to load new configuration data. If it mmap()s the config file, it doesn't even need to do that.
