Has anyone noticed a difference in performance between FTPing in Active mode vs. Passive mode?

I have two laptops on the same network:
1) Client - Windows Vista, firewall disabled, using FileZilla
2) Apache FTPServer - Windows XP, firewall disabled

When FileZilla is set to passive it is relatively fast. When I switch it to active it is 2 times to 3 times slower. I've done quite a bit of research and playing around but I haven't been able to determine why. I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this for me...

Thanks,
Steve
