Default What/how does compression ratio affect an engine?

Connecting rods don't wear. Their bearings wear, but the con-rods don't wear. I doubt the slight difference in force
on the connecting rod and crank bearings is enough to cause a measurable difference in wear.

They do experience fatigue cycles. Is that wear?
