Simply installing Calibre should not slow things down.

When Calibre is running doing something (i.e. not simply loaded but idle) it can certainly affect performance as most of its tasks tend to be CPU intensive. Also it is quite heavy on RAM usage - I would not want to use Calibre on a system with less than 1GB of RAM although it would probably run on a 512MB system if you are not doing much else.
