Load times are theoretically slower by a tad, but actual in-game FPS should be virtually the same, because games generally don't read from files during action or a scene. Usually all of that is loaded into memory before the scene takes place or, in the case of large fields, is loaded dynamically so that anything within a certain radius of the camera is in memory.
Therefore your FPS should vary so little as to be unnoticeable and inconclusive to any argument that it slows speed (usually).
If I'm wrong please correct me.

thanks guys. I guess it might just be some really random thing happening to my pc, but I did compress using the .gcz format, I also have some .ciso files too. the .ciso has a higher compression ratio than .gcz, but it depends on the iso file. Some games had a higher compression ratio with .gcz than the .ciso
