The performance impact is very difficult ot estimate since it strongly 
depends of the CPL script complexity. And you can  estimate this 
complexity by  the number of signaling operations done inside the script 
(especially proxy operations). But excepting signaling (which either you 
do from CPL script or from routing script, it's the same as time/resorce 
consuming) the additional overhead is minimal since all CPL scripts are 
kept in a compile version (a not as XML file),  thing which tremendous 
reduce the interpretation time. So, I wound say the CPL execution is not 
more or less expensive  than other SER operations.

You can use groups (ACLs) for activateing/deactivating the CPL script 
for specific user (on their request, for ex.). Anyhow, if a user has no 
script or an empty one,  CPL execution will reduce to a DB query.

So far, I would say no.
