how much overhead with query notification services in sqlserer2005?

I notice a lot of activity on my sqlserver2005 box when nothing is
happening. (just query notificatins which I have set up) . I can't
find any write ups on this. To me, it seems
important.
thanks

http://peterkellner.netQuery notifications utilizes the Service Broker infrastructure internally to
handle the automatic activation of the notification when something changes.
This is where the activity is coming from. Query notifications were
primarily designed to allow you to maintain relatively static caches of
data. You don't want to use them in highly volitile data sets or with high
volume systems, because the notification mechanism can get overwhelmed by
the pace of changes in the environment.
