It really depends on how hot the fire is... No really, burning a CD means that a laser is etching information on it. Most CD's are write once, meaning that you can etch(burn) info on the disk but when its full that's it. It cannot be reused. Re-writable disks are available that can be erased and written to again. So to answer your question, burning a disk in a CD drive will normally not damage it, but after you have 'burned ' what you want on it then the disk can only be used to access the info on it and cannot be burned again.

yes, temporarily it will slow down because some of the calculations will be devoted to the disk burning leaving less for whatever else you are doing

Does burning CD's take space from my computer?

If you are ripping CDs to your hard drive and then burning, yes, it would take away "space" (some of the memory) because the files are going into your computer first. If you are creating content on your computer and then burning, you'd already have the content in your memory. The physical act of burning the CD (not counting where the content is stored) will use some of your virtual memory and CPU. This is a temporary thing and would stop when your CD is done. So, if you're burning a CD, playing AfterLife and trying to do your taxes at the same time, your computer is going to slow down to a crawl.
