I did and here is the recommendation from Sophos. First, they are not admitting
that it is an "issue". If you request it, which I did, you can install their
XRS version. XRS, according to Sophos, is the old engine with the new IDEs. I
installed it on two systems and the performance is much better now. Actually
ver good according to my systems. Can more people test it now? I have it
installed now on a production system and the load is normal.

Here is the e-mail from Sophos:
