well obviously it's both. The constant pressure the shock is under, and the inability of the stock shock to keep up with the higher spring rates.
Well actually making the shock work harder will make the oil or gases in the shock overcook/boil in some instances. Which is why when you blow a shock the oil or gases start to leak out of the seals cause the seals were not meant to take that much abuse.
Wish I kept that website about what goes on in a shock.
