Disk Speed (write) slowdown w/ Sophos

Hi All!

I have just deployed Sophos Endpoint to all my end users (small company). We are noticing some disk performance issues w/ Sophos.  Using guidance from this url: https://www.amsys.co.uk/2013/04/using-command-line-to-benchmark-disks/  to check disk speed, here is what we have found. Has anyone seen this kind of perf degradation? Write speed seems to be cut by almost half...

Hardware Info:
* MacBookPro11,5
* Processor: Intel Core i7
* HDD: Apple SSD 500GB (100GB Free)

SOPHOS Client info:
* Sophos Central Endpoint 9.6.6
* Threat Detection engine: 3.70.2
* Threat Data: 5.47

 

Here are the results from the tests:
