No, as far as you don't have a *REALLY* fast internet connection.
It won't affect your LAN's performances, and since internet connection are
not often faster than 50 - 60kB(ytes)/sec, this flow isn't high enough to
saturate your firewall.
Of course, this isn't the same for a firewall between, for instance, a
10Mb and a 100Mb network...
At least, that's what I think. But I may be wrong. (please tell me if this
is the case.)
