The smart update process for Windows servers will compare installed version against the selected SPP - if it is at or above the SPP it will simply skip it as "already installed" unless you select a force install to down grade or re-install. So regardless of how many groups the server is a member of it will only comsume the time needed to query the system. In case you aren't aware SIM leverages HPSUM and the SPP's so nothing really changes for all practical purposes.
