The issue I am finding is that ARD tells me the machines are routinely running at 98% CPU and 98% RAM usage. The problem is, the only apps running on them are the script (saved as an application), and Safari. After a few days of running like this, they sort of seize up (wouldn’t you?) and either present the beachball, time out on the Applescript, or freeze altogether.

This may not be applicable here, but ...
One good way to get an AppleScript to consume near 100% CPU usage is to write an application containing a short repeat loop that waits for some condition. Preventing this is easy -- just put a 'delay 1' within the loop. In the case of a stay-open application, it might be a good idea to put a 'delay 1' within the idle handler.
