Anything that takes up volume will increase compression to some extent.

The problem with carbon is, it tends to develop hot spots. Hot spots promote detonation, which will have an adverse effect on economy.

Carbon build up also disrupts flow within the chamber, and adds weight to moving parts, accelerating wear.
