If you intend to monitor many hosts, that will lead to tons of charts to draw periodically. This is very I/O consuming, and you have to make sure you have enough for that, or spend some time to reconfigure the nodes to reduce monitored resources.
You can also use munin charts in "on-demand" cgi mode where the charts are being drawn only when called for from the pregenerated HTML (which can also be on-demand). This also enables chart zooming. You need to configure your webserver to run few perl scripts via cgi.

Otherwise munin-node is just a set of perl scripts and other than the dependency list, really is lightweight.
