Your antivirus is probably way to agressive, scanning each and every files 
everytimes they are accessed in any way. If a non infectable file was accessed 
10 seconds ago, why scan it again? Why scan it the first time? Some AV will scan 
any BMP, TXT and INI files on each access.
Look if you can change it's settings, exclude some extentions and folders.
Change the update scedule from hourly to dayly. Hourly updates often realy do 
nothing at all, exept using your resources.

You may try some other AV.
