Really strange problem

I just reformatted recently installed all the updates and the usual stuff
however I noticed things have been laggy and I checked the PF usage and it seems to be higher than usual.
This never happened and I reformatted many times before

I wanna say I took care of the lag spikes by ajusting firewall settings and allowing all the programs to have full access rather then outbound only
but the 1.25 gb pf usage is that normal?

It could be for McAfee running plus Windows Messenger, Skype, ICQ, AIM, and Spyware Doctor all running at once. The big name anti-virus programs tend to use a lot of memory, plus all the other stuff you have running.
I don't see how adjusting the firewall fixed the problem but glad you got it fixed!
