At least it appears to.

Never had it turned on and hadn't experienced any issues (3-4 hours play). Turned it on and crashed 5 times (game freezing) in the one area, to the point where I couldn't complete the area and had to keep re-starting. Turned the option back off, haven't had a single issues since (several hours of game play since turning it back off).

When it froze it was always in combat with large numbers flashing up on the screen.
