No. The Oly raw format may be compressed but should use a lossless compression method. Using TIFF won't get you anything worthwhile, it will just use more space. A JPEG with moderate compression will likely have as much *visible* informaton as the TIFF. Your real loss if you don't use raw is the loss of additional color information. The raw file is likely a 10 or 12 bit format. The additional bits won't contribute much of anything to an unedited print (which has a 5-6 bit dynamic range) but it will prevent loss of tonal information in editing when done in 16 bit format.
