Problem then is that as soon as I start using the program I might say want to load some data into it which is on the same drive as the program itself.

If I don't have an SSD my drive head is going to be spinning around like crazy trying to load resources from different parts of the disk at once which is going to give me slower overall performance. If you do have an SSD then it's likely fast enough either way.
