No it will not effect the performance of either device.

This doesn't apply to SATA as their are no connected as master and slave.

Is it although I was told, that if one of them is slower, the whole connection of this IDE will be slower?
How to know that?

no problem with such setup. one thing you have to keep in mind though - some CD-RW drives don't function well when in slave mode. no idea why really, just an observation.
