1st you should be making copies of your games
Making an ISO means converting the CD format into ISO/img format, hence it will take longer time because it is reading from CD. On the other hand, burning is just decoding the ISO/img format reading from your hard drive (without the waiting delay on your disk drive), hence it is much faster. (very similar to copy and paste in both cases with format changes)
I just make an ISO when I wanna play the game and put the disk back to my pile; when I finish, I just simply delete the ISO.
