Thanks for asking, and for the screenshot. Those screens are easier to misread than they look: Android attributes shared system services to whichever app currently holds them, so a chunk of what is listed under Niagara is not actually the launcher's work. This article walks through that for memory, and the same attribution applies here.
Niagara itself is a lightweight app. The usual real causes of extra drain on a home screen are widgets that refresh often and live wallpaper apps, so if you have either, removing them for a day is the cleanest way to compare.
