It depends what you mean by web performance. Do you mean your visitors or your web server? Google analytics (like all hosted analytics services) works by inserting some code that gets the visitor's browser to connect to their servers. These requests therefore has no impact on your web server. If you implement something on your own server, e.g. by tracking their path in a session variable and/or storing stuff in a DB then yes, this will consume resources. We use Google analytics and are very happy with the results.
