Wow, this is a great question. Let's assume it's like an old Core 2 Duo E6420 @ about 2GHz with 2GB RAM, or, something even older like a P4 with 1G of ram. I'd have to think in those cases the overhead of decompressing is the biggest factor for booting from CD than the speed of the CD Rom drive. I really would test this out though.
