It must depend on your environment. My workstation (Pentium D 3GHz, 2 GB RAM, Win 7 RC) did a deep scan today and I worked right through it - about 10 IE tabs open, 2 RDC sessions, Outlook, a couple of Word documents, and an Access Database. The only thing I noticed was it was slow browsing in IE8 until it was done.
