Only on mac though, because docker has extra overhead due to running on a vm there. I run kubernetes all the time in my linux desktop and it consume <5% cpu on idle, and that's with more than a dozen pods running in the background (postgres, postgis, mysql, redis, memcached, a bunch of django webapps, some test wordpress instances, multiple sftp instances, and a pihole instance). I got fed up with the performance on mac and tried using https://github.com/rancher/k3d https://github.com/rancher/k3d instead, which seems to cut the idle cpu usage by half.
