Right now, I'm working with an ENC28J60 ethernet
controller attached via the SPI port on a PIC. I wonder if the
setup consumes much more power than a couple of front panel lamps
on a PDP-

Maybe a pic has more computing power than a PDP-8? :o)
Depends on the clock rate. For most PICs, probably not.
