Dual booting is not restricted to Linux. Dual booting refers to the presence of two operating systems on one computer. Switch/choice between these operating systems is determined at boot time (either via bios or boot manager), therefore only one operating system is at use at a time.

No. When one operating system is running in a dual-boot setup, no part of the other system is running. Thus, it is not using any memory or CPU cycles.

Hard drive usage does not typically affect computer performance, unless you have the disk so crowded that there is no room for the swap file or partition.
