From my experience, arpwatch doesn't use much system resources at all.
I haven't looked under its hood to see how it is implemented, but it
should just be looking for changes/additions to the arp tables and doing
a callback which checks the current .dat file containing bindings.
The suggestion of using arpwatch is mainly due to reliability. It would
provide a persistent and accurate mechanism to pull in any changes that
have occurred in the arp tables, which would include (much more than)
the IP<->MAC bindings for the VMs as they broadcast their ARP requests.
