Firewall with low overhead?

I am running Windows XP Pro and Kerio 4.0.13. What are some
recommendations for a firewall with less overhead (processing and memory
use)?

I originally started years ago with Tiny Firewall as it seamed to fit
the bill. When Tiny changed to Kerio I went to Kerio 2.XX. When Kerio
4 came along I changed to that mostly because I was reading about
concerns of compatibility with XP and Kerio 2 (although I didn't see any
problems.)

It seams like Firewalls (along with so many other programs now a days)
start expanding their rolls and bloating out as time goes on.

Thanks,
Russell
