I am wondering if having multiple themes installed on my SMF is going to hurt my sites performance / take up more CPU load?

Thanks for your feedback

Probably yes - slightly. Each theme has their unique settings, paths, images etc. So there will be more data to go through. But with only a few themes, it really shouldn't have a noticeable impact at all.

Hmm, I'd say yes and no.  :)

I think it would depend on the theme. How complex it is, how many images it loads and stuff like that. But the differences for the most part would be minor.

If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer. If that fails, read the manual.
