Do app shortcuts in the Quick Launch Taskbar consume any system

No. They are just shortcuts. Whether on the Quick Launch Bar, the desktop, or elsewhere, shortcuts use no resources.

except when you are logging in. it will take a little bit longer to start up COMPLETELY if you have many shortcuts on the desktop(not the quick launch). Haven't you noticed sometimes when you restart explorer.exe or just when the computer is slow, the icons reset(will look like files with no extensions) and then the icons come back after "few" seconds.
