I've run speed tests before and forgot to shutdown ZA and I never really saw a difference.

ZA does not slow you down at all. You can shut it off completely and still achieve the same speeds as with it running.

I haven't heard of a program that slows down your internet speed (without messing with any internet settings).

I agree. Great firewall.

to mee it seems pages load faster with zone alarm than without it running.
