Yeah, that will make it a lot slower if it has to read off the disk,
but it still loads a significant portion of everything into RAM first.
That said, it's always easier to use USB sticks for the install,
they're faster and the ISO images don't always adhere to 700MB limit
for CDs, especially for Desktop.
