From what ive heard......
the spring movement of "loading and unloading/firing" is what wears mag springs. Storing them loaded may put some wear on them but the exercising of the spring up and down is what wears them much faster.
I keep most mags (wilson cmbt, glock mags) loaded, usually -1 rd. Never had mag / spring problems.
Of course, this is just my experience

Noooooooo, leaving a spring loaded does nothing over the course of a human being's lifetime.
There is no wear detectable by humans, whatsoever, as long as nothing is moving.

I don't think leaving magazines loaded affects springs at all. Springs wear out from being compressed and uncompressed over and over again. Either leaving them compressed or uncompressed shouldn't affect them.
HOWEVER
I don't usually leave my magazines loaded because of the legalities involved with transporting my weapons back and forth from the range. I don't have a CCW permit. Generally, you are required to transport firearms unloaded, in the trunk (or inaccessible), etc. But, I drive a truck and don't want to put the guns in the back bed. So I leave my guns in the back cabin. I keep the magazines unloaded and the guns in separate compartments from the ammunition. That is probably good enough for my locale and interstate travel.

Oh my. The intererror webs is full today.
IIRC, Vickers recommends down loading for storage, IE 12 or 13 rds in a 15 rd mag..
YMMV

Like David E said,
""LOAD 'EM UP"
Its the constant loading, and unloading that wears on magazine springs~!
