He did say it stressed the player's PC. It stresses both, since it's still data that needs to be transmitted.
Bioware always has had a bad reputation for optimization. It was actually a big concern in 2008 when the forums launched.

Considering the swtor forum community has a three year history of making up bullshit and pretending it to be fact, which is then assumed as such and incredibly hard to bust by Bioware, I'm not surprised. Even in that thread it was already happening. Someone tossed up the "bioware does this to prevent texture thievery" idea and suddenly it was a fact.
Still makes me go "wait, what?" every time. Even though I should be used to it by now.
