James, the short answer is yes.

  I think that the folks at Ga.Tech did a study on this and they
found that the bit bucket fills faster with complex tasks vs simple ones.
Something about the .tihsllub pointer registers(H, L & M ) overflowing at
a faster rate causes this problem....:)

I would be happy to say that Clemson also verified the results, but then,
they're still trying to find a decent football team for the fall
season...

(Sorry guys, couldn't resist that one..:)
