OK, I take it back - http://www.av-comparatives.org/ - seems to have a
good roundup of anti-virus performance (speed) and detection rates,
and, at a brief glance, recent versions of Norton/Symantec do very
well (the problems with it may be historical - but I've often found
computers with versions of Norton I've experienced 'felt' slow).
