The nodes only really consume high amounts of system resources upon syncing large amounts of blocks. Thus, if you don't leave them running continuously, and only start them up occasionally, they will have a larger number of blocks to sync and will therefore require high amounts of system resources.
The simplest fix is to leave them running continuously - ...

Actually, tor/i2p support has been in Monero since the previous release, not just the last one.
With regards to your specific questions:

http://node.moneroworld.com:18089/json_rpc
