It's a Windows app - if you are worried about overhead, you wouldn't be running Windows in the first place.
But to answer your question, I am sure this has plenty of overhead, but given there are no real alternatives, people still accept it. Better to waste some CPU time that have some totally unresponsive game.

There are numerous libraries and launchers on github; my favorite is [1]. CPU limits are only for Windows 8 or greater though, so for people still on Windows 7 or earlier, then okay, this post is relevant for them.
