All BootCamp is is primarily a partitioning tool, and then after you install Win, it has some drivers and whatnot to make Windows fully functional with the hardware. Nothing more.
There's no reason in the world why BootCamping a new partition and installing Windows should affect your Mac partition.
Windows may be slow... it may be just as plagued by Windows type things as any other computer, but it would not affect your Mac partition.

I have Win 7 bootcamped on an iMac here for testing, and nothing else, and it runs perfectly fine, as does the Mac partition. But on my primary Mac, I won't let Windows anywhere near it.
