Protected from what? Your VPN provider will know everything you're doing, the service/website you are using will know everything you're doing, and your ISP will know you're trying to hide what you're doing.
Regardless, turning off VPN every time you want to visit certain websites is hardly a practical solution, particularly given the security implications (who these days only ever opens one web page and tab at a time?)

Basic encryption isn't especially resource heavy now.

Indeed. And many modern (<5 years old) CPUs have encryption offload built-in that can easily handle over 10 gigabits per second.
