    I don't use a third party software Firewall, as I'm behind a NAT/SPI router.

    I just went over from Outpost to Online Armor. To my surprise the speed increased. Didn't expect that.

    Never had any slowdowns with any firewall I've tried in the last two-three years (KIS, NIS, Online Armor, Comodo and F-Secure).
