I don't see how. The ECM doesn't have different fuel and spark maps for CC ON vs. CC OFF.

I know that since the CC can't anticipate a hill it keeps the speed steady until it starts going up the hill then it mashes the go pedal to keep the speed up (depending on how steep of course) so you feel the 'kick in the pants' but you can do that yourself.

I think the same, but they still are talking how it helps on the other forum.
