Power consumption, certainly.
I don't know about the E-3, but most IS systems don't get along with
tripods. I don't know why, but it makes sense to turn it off then anyway.
To the extent that the mechanism and movement generate heat that warms
the sensor, it would increase noise.
Does the mechanism wear out?
Just some random stuff....
