Master or slave? Primary or secondary?

I'm getting set to put a larger drive in a machine.

It did have hda = main disk, hdb = CDrom, hdc = DVD-R(W).

The added drive could likely have content that I want to write to DVD. So
whereas it would be easiest to put the next drive on hdd, I'm wondering
how that would affect performance, i.e., DVD writing speed. (It's a 1.3MHz
machine.) And does "ide-scsi" help the situation at all, or am I still
impeded by the IDE controller, even though using SCSI emulation. Any
thoughts on where to put my drives would be welcome.
