No, not directly. It's because players have a tendency to spam Ages and needlessly inflate the HD space of the server worlds, and often run into the age eating corruptions. Those corruptions DO cause lag inducing amounts of block updates.
Magma, most servers ban the crafting of descriptive books and other mystcraft items to keep players from creating their own ages. Why? Because some players needlessly (like SilvasRuin said) will create ridiculous amounts of ages (and remember, each age is a whole new world) which take up space on server hard drives. Even though servers ban the creation of ages most have staff willing to create ages for their players upon request (ask a server's staff for clarification), this allows admins to control the number of ages.
Corruption is actually called instability and is a normal part of Mystcraft. One of the things that can occur to ages suffering from instability is block decay, this can cause lag. For this reason many servers have instability disabled via config. See this link for more info:

I hope I helped.

From my understanding a wrong combination of symbols induces instability, NOT specific symbols.
There are a few specific symbols that create instability (dense ores and accelerated). It also happens when symbols are overloaded (too many biomes for the controllers, etc.), or when the book has to add a major symbol for generation (biomes, controllers, lighting, etc.).
