Kevin, Generally you're right that mirroring, whether with MirrorMaker or Confluent's Replicator, shouldn't be too expensive wrt CPU. However, do be aware that in both cases, if you are using compression you'll need to decompress and recompress due to the way they copy data. This could possibly incur more CPU overhead than you are expecting if you are just thinking about copying raw bytes. Otherwise, their functionality is straightforward and largely network-limited: read messages from the source cluster and write them to the destination cluster.
