I'd doubt it. If anything, I might think it would worsen it a bit (since it has more "active" features).

I've used Nova Launcher for more than 3 years and haven't seen it show up hardly ever in the Battery stats (percentage battery usage), nor have I seen it reduce battery life compared to Touchwiz.

The launcher doesn't really have much of an impact on things unless it brings with it functionality that you won't use... For instance, if you don't use Google Now a lot, the Google Now Launcher would lead to some wasted power because it, well, assumes you are going to use Google Now a lot (which you should... because it is awesome...)

It's really all the stuff that you configured INSIDE the launcher... do you use a ton of widgets, etc. But you'd do that no matter which one you would use.

I haven't really noticed any performance degradation using Nova Prime launcher.

I see no difference. I have an LG G Stylo and the stock LG launcher is actually pretty good, IMHO. I go back and forth between the 2 launchers
