Doubtful. I have glances running on a server at home updating on the default 1s timer, it uses 5% CPU. I should probably change that to a longer update interval, but that server doesn't do much processing so it's not a big problem. You can also launch glances.py directly so if it is going to show up on the process list it will be as 'glances.py' and not just 'python'.
