In order to be certified for running Recall, machines currently must have an NPU (Neural Processing Unit, basically an AI coprocessor). I assume that is what makes it practical to do by offloading the required computation from the CPU.
Apparently it IS possible to circumvent that requirement using a hack, which is what some of the researchers reporting on it have done, but I haven’t read any reports on how that affects CPU usage in practice.
Once a minute, and only if the screen contents change. I imagine there’s something lightweight enough.

Recall analyses each screenshot and uses AI or whatever to add tags to it. I’d assume that’s what the NPU is used for.
