Sophos, when downloading, slows mac to unusable condition

This morning, when I needed to look something up on my mac in a hurry, my computer was so slow it was almost completely unusable.  I then notice that the Sophos icon on the top bar of the mac indicated that Sophos was downloading.  I'm assuming it was downloading new virus definitions, but I don't know that for sure. 

I have noticed this situation a few times in the past as well.  When Sophos is downloading, the mac becomes very very slow.

This is clearly a bug in Sophos - either by design or not.  Sophos should be changed to throttle its download activity, so as to not affect the rest of the computer.
