Posi-traction

I know that posi rear ends help acceleration by preventing what has been termed the "one-wheel peel." And I understand how it works, using clutches to fight or help prevent one wheel from spinning faster than the other unlike open rear ends. My question is:

Since the two rear wheels are supposed to spin at different rates during a turn and a limited-slip/posi rear end fights the tendency for them to spin at different rates, do limited-slip/posi rear ends wear out faster than open rear ends due to turns?

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.
