Definitely it does have an impact on CPU usage.
The resources used are in proportion to the complexity of patter.
For eg: for fixed string it will be less. for regular expression it will be more.
To make use of different algorithms for most efficient searches there are seperate binaries itself.
like we have
egrep: extended grep - for regular expression searches
fgrep: fast grep: used for fixed searches across multiple files.
for more information see man pages
thanks,
rishi

ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)
NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
