[freenet-support] does freenet slow down the computer

[its me]

After I installed freenet, when the computer is idle, it is sending out 56338 packets and receiving 139442 packets even when no program is running.
   
  Is this activity all from freenet and if so, is that why my computer is very slow when I am trying to browse regular pages on the internet ? 
   
  thanks for any help you can provide
   
  Brian
