I tend to agree with you when talking about modern computers.
Unless you're servicing a lot network traffic, which is hardly the case when streaming music or video, or downloading a couple files, the network load is going to be very light on system resources.
Several years ago we began to see TCP Offload Engines (TOE) on server class NICs in high traffic environments. It wasn't uncommon to pay several hundred dollars for these NICs which freed up CPU resources under heavy network load. I'm not sure if TOE has trickled down to onboard chips and ports found on typical PC motherboards.
Obviously a low powered low-end system will be more impacted by network traffic so unless your system is one of those stripped down minimalist boxes I don't see a problem.
In any case, I'm downloading a few huge HD video files on my Mac and it appears they hardly put a dent in my system resources.
