Does having compensation enabled/disabled make any difference?

I was wondering if the processing required to apply compensation 
during display might be an additional factor increasing the display 
time...

My IT technician has become very interesting in the DiVa software and 
is hopefully going to have a good look at where the bottleneck 
actually is (CPU? Memory? Hard drives?).
