Every iquery call requires some CPU cycles and too excessive frequency potentially can impact performance. I am not sure home many requests per sec your script is going to call but the only way to check how it impacts performance to test it. It is totally depend on your paltform, configuration and traffic load

 

Here some info about iControl
