I have Windows 7 running on one of my machines with
McAfee(unfortunately) which I have tried three times unsuccessfully to
replace (Another story).  I can attest to that AV product really slowing
things down, sometimes causing Thunderbird, Firefox and/or GnuCash to
appear to hang for 30 to 60 seconds.  Turning off real time scanning
will break up the log jam.  For whatever reason, 6 gig of Ram seems
inadequate at times on this machine.  Closing Thunderbird or Firefox
periodically also helps.
