You can just not install it and everything will work as on previous
releases.
NetworkManager is very handy for those travelling in different
environments, especially different LAN and WLAN ones. It makes it far
easier to switch between Networks for a normal user.
It has seen many improvements since 10.0 and if it still uses lots of
CPU cycles, I would ask to open bugreports with the NetworkManager
folks.
