Growl is used by a lot of applications these days. I've always found it to be very light-weight. All it does is pop up its little messages when a file has downloaded or dropbox has been synchronized. I was suprised to find when I checked that I have 12 applications that use it! Go in system preferences and take a look in there and see what programs are using it, and the messages they display and decide if you need it or not. Also take a look at the themes it has while you're there if you are finding it too intrusive. The one I use and find the most subtle is smoke with floating icon ticked.
