Flashing the ECU with tunes

I have a tuner and have recently been switching between tunes to see the gains from each setting. My question is it hard on the ECU for me to keep loading new tunes?

No, no effect.

Your ECU is constantly making calculations and what not when your driving. The flash tuner should not have any affect on it at all. Its used to stuff such as this.

It is no different than closing Internet Explorer and opening Microsoft word. You are just moving data in and out of memory chips.
