I don't know about CPU usage, but as for circuits, I think you can get
them from @extra-info and @bridge-extra-info descriptors:
https://collector.torproject.org/#type-extra-info
https://collector.torproject.org/#type-bridge-extra-info
For example, see some of the files at
https://collector.torproject.org/recent/relay-descriptors/extra-infos/
The "cell-circuits-per-decile" lines might be interesting to you.
https://spec.torproject.org/dir-spec:
"cell-circuits-per-decile" num NL
Mean number of circuits that are included in any of the deciles,
rounded up to the next integer.
For parsing the descriptor files, you can use Stem:
