If you're using it in daemon mode, it only shells out to boot a conversion server, and only if necessary. From that point on it's sending very basic RESTful requests. I wouldn't recommend using latexml if you're interested in performance-critical math parsing. Its best use case is converting entire LaTeX documents/fragments with arbitrarily complex package dependencies, macro definitions and any other power latex techniques.
