Default What/how does compression ratio affect an engine?

Oh, not this old wive's tale again. THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL HEAT GENERATED
BY A HIGHER OCTANE FUEL.

One thing I think "might" be a concern is that burning 100LL (can't get 80
octane avgas these days) in an engine built for 80 octane is the extra
heat.
