Alberto: No, Spotlight continually indexes your Mac. A Smart Folder merely makes use of that information, much like typing some text in the Spotlight search box in the upper right corner would do. Since the information is already indexed, both using Smart Folders and the Spotlight search box will be very fast and not tax your system more than it does by having the Spotlight service run (which it always does by default, and I don’t notice it much).

I think that it makes a continuous search on your(s) HD(s), and for this slows the reactivity or you Mac.
