I can't imagine so. To the operating system as well as
the cpu, there's really very little difference between
compression software and an office software that is
running some intensive operation. I imagine such a rumor
may have been started by someone who just had an unstable
system since compression utilities do cause windows to
use 100% of the cpu power and probably work pretty hard
with ram too.
