Any firewall is going to take some resources. If that is a problem, you could look into getting a hardware firewall.

Turn off the XP firewall, its useless.

Get Kerio Personal Firewall. Very good piece of software and unobtrusive.

For older set-ups sygate personal firewall is good and free. For more up to date machines zonealarm does a good job.
