I would think increasing the resistance would make the spark hotter. An old timers trick to getting a fussy engine to start is to pull the plug wires off a little bit. This is supposed to make the spark hotter. Also, if you have your plug gap to small, the plugs will foul because the spark is not hot enough...bigger gap=more resistance. I don't know what more resistance would do to the cap and rotor tho...seems like there should be no arcing there so I don't know why there would be build up there.
