I might take a look at Comodo, i'm also behind a NAT router and using the XP firewall my laptop has been so much faster since removing Zonealarm. I might just stick with the Windows firewall i'm aware that it doesn't perform real outbound filtering but i always logon as a restricted user and run upto date AV so i'm not too worried about software installing without my knowledge. I must admit though I've never really noticed any performance issues with it, and I have a 3 year old Dimension at home so it's not exactly a beefy PC I'll try this comodo out over the holidays!
