If your firewall/anti-virus is slowing FlashFXP down there are several things to check.
First make sure you do not have byte level scanning enabled by your anti-virus software as this will slow your computer down excessively during file transfers. If you do have it active make sure it is only active when you actually open a file not move/save it.
Another thing to check is for any "worm" protection. Some firewalls will have a worm protection which scans all incoming data for trojans and worms. When this is active on FTP transfers it can cause some significant resource use by your system.
You can limit some of the scanning/blocking by your Firewall/Anti-virus by making sure that FlashFXP is listed in the exceptions list for both.
In some cases CPU usage of the firewall/anti-virus can be increased by having file compression turned on on a file, if your anti-virus is attempting to scan the compressed file as it arrives and then your CPU is also having to un-compress the file this may be a part of your problem.
Do any of these things help you?
