There is another, more important, difference which you omitted to include in

upgrade to catch more viruses, unfortunately this improvement included a nasty
performance hit, which we are aware of.
Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?
We take the attitude that catching viruses is much more important than
performance, so we have other issues on our list of things to do. I
don't wish to sound as though we consider performance unimportant
(profiling the code is always on my list of things to do!), we do, but I
wish you to understand where our priority is.
I'm currently running both Kaspersky and ClamAV, so my current solution
is to bypass certain classes of messages from ClamAV scanning, this is
helping, but at the end of the day, customers are still noticing the
difference.
It would be useful if you were to find the specific class or type of
file which suffers most and let us know, so that we know where to focus
our time.
