XP/SP3, all updates; SM 1.1.19/2.0.0/2.0.4, no add-ons apart from standard plugins.

Compared to SM 1.x, SM 2.x news groups handling is very slow.
It seems to be related to anti-virus? When MS Security Essentials is installed, Task Manager shows SM 2.x and MSSE alternately ramping up to 100% CPU (while the other ramps down) even when all SM is doing is re-checking for new messages and even when there ARE no new messages. For the news.mozilla.org server (others are similar), this process takes (typically) 90 seconds (sometimes several minutes) to check 14 groups. With MSSE uninstalled (replaced by Avira), the process takes around 45 seconds. With SM 1.x, the process takes from 0.1 to 5 seconds, with no observable AV interaction.

Do others see this kind of behaviour?
Am I doing something wrong?
Is there anything I can do to change this?
Is this a known problem that may get fixed in future SM updates?
