Default Does trimming put stress on servos?

Got to thinking yesterday about servos and had a question, although it's probably minimal.

When you install your radio gear, everything is done in the servos neutral position. So when you take the plane out to fly, and you realize that you need to make a few trim clicks one way or the other, the servo is now out of neutral position and is "working" even if you aren't moving that control. SO the servo is drawing power to hold that trim position.
Wouldn't that reduce battery life and servo life?
