In a sense yes, but once the hub is spinning at a higher speed the drag is hardly noticeable. Your spin test in a repair stand is far from replicating real world use and conditions. Electricity is not free, even coming from a dynamo hub. If you want the convenience of a self sufficient lighting system there is some efficiency you give up in other departments, though I'd argue that they aren't worth arguing about(hehe)!
