Azureus Vuze is killing my browsing speed!

[NEUR0M4NCER]

Upgraded to 10.04 on release day, and now whenever I fire up Azureus (I can't get used to 'Vuze'), my Firefox browsing grinds to a halt, many pages simply timing out - repeated refreshes sometimes manage to get there, but it can take up to 45 seconds...

I'm on a wired connection, using Cable Broadband (Virgin Media UK), and had no issues like this immediately prior to the upgrade, so I'm pretty certain it's not a throttling issue (I already have the SpeedScheduler plugin to deal with that). Up speed's capped at 30kB/s, so that shouldn't be the cause either.

I've browsed a couple of recent torrents, and the only helpful suggestion is to completely remove Azureus, then re-install, but will I lose my unfinished torrents if I do that?


Any help here would be great!

I don't think there's much of use in here, but this is what I get starting from terminal:
