You can use test/stop anytime you like.
But Prime95 is one of the most benign applications known to me. I have never encountered a performance problem with prime95 in all the years since 1997.
I suspected some cache-thrashing using prime95 and 'normal' programs but never had a measurable performance dip doing so.
