FlashFXP v3.6 is not windows 7 compatible, it will run in compatibility mode.

Right now I switched to version3.6
Which two recent releases?

The latest is now build 1548.. (previous 4 builds were quite buggy)

How is it slower, can you give us identical examples comparing v3.6 vs 4.0 build 1548.
Are you using plain FTP or FTP SSL/TLS?

FlashFXP v4.0 provides a lot more features and functionality compared to v3.6, as a result this requires more memory.

Here's a quick test I did with FlashFXP v3.6 build 1260 vs 4.0 build 1548 on Windows 7 64bit.

One single large file
3.6: Download: <filename> 286.44 MB in 6.91 seconds (41.45 MB/s)
4.0: Download: <filename> 286.44 MB in 6.09 seconds (47.03 MB/s)

3.6: Upload: <filename> 531.42 MB in 9.52 seconds (55.85 MB/s)
4.0: Upload: <filename> 531.42 MB in 8.36 seconds (63.55 MB/s)

A copy of the openssl-1.0.0d source code (2,209 files)
3.6: Download 2,209 files (18.91 MB) in 2 minutes 7 seconds (342.3 KB/s)
4.0: Download 2,209 Files (18.91 MB) in 47.03 seconds (1.82 MB/s)

3.6: Upload 2,209 files (18.91 MB) in 2 minutes 11 seconds (243.1 KB/s)
4.0: Upload 2,209 Files (18.91 MB) in 1 minute 0 second (770.3 KB/s)

Delete the openssl-1.0.0d folder from the server
3.6: Deleted 131 Folders and 2,209 Files totaling 18.91 MB in 10.70 seconds.
4.0: Deleted 2,209 Files and 131 Folders (18.91 MB) in 9.15 seconds

So 4.0 slower? Not according to these tests or any of my previous tests.

As far as CPU usage goes it really depends on whats being measured.

Here's the combined CPU time of all of the above tests:
3.6: Total CPU time: 2 minutes 35 seconds
4.0: Total CPU time: 1 minute 52 seconds.
