Please read the message. It starts with... "For those of you that....".
Personally, I have 20Gb free in my system, so I preffer temporaly using
5Gb to do a dvdrip than having my dvd-drive spining for 6 hours. That
mustn't be good for it. But it's up to you :)

Also, i don't get why it's faster reading from a DMA capable DVD-drive
than from HD. If case the DVD was too slow (it isn't), then the CPU
ussage would be less, right?
