Remember to turn it back on after you're done playing to turn it back on.

Hope this helps some people. It's not something that always comes to mind when thinking of the causes for lag.
You can leave your anti-virus scan on, but don't let it scan all your program files. The anti-virus knows what is e-mail and messages as compared to information coming in via and for program operations so setting the options for e-mail and messages plus their attachment should allow for a lag free TT program up/download protocol. I use McAfee and it gives me this option, don't know about other programs such as Symantec's Norton Anti-Virus.
