I think it should be fine.  All recording is done in hardware.  The only thing 
that can be a problem is the speed of your disks.

For those that wants a better monitoring than top, take a look at nmon.  It's 
ported to linux (original it was only available for AIX) and gives you a nice 
overview of your server (CPU / memory / disks / ...):
