I use Norton Anti-Virus on all my computers and have found it an excellent Anti-Virus, However on 2 occasions Norton has slowed my 2.8 hyper threading machine down running windows XP home and I had an issue with Norton 2005 not wanting to run on an old athlon I was repairing that was running windows 2000 pro but this was solved by installing Norton 2000 Anti Virus.
However I run Norton on the rest of my machines and I find no issues with slowness, Its runs lovely on my 3.8 Althlon, 1.6 Intel laptop, 1.5 Intel and my 3 Ghz Intel.
Zone Alarm Anti-Virus is a lot quicker but I have not tested this long enough to comment fairly apart from Zone Alarm firewall which I could bet money on as its excellent
