It is not light on system resources. Testing it on my laptop with a 1.7 GHz P4 CPU I found that it uses 18 - 32% of CPU and up to 58 Mb of RAM. Otherwise it provides good program control for outbound connections. A pop up appears for every process that attempts to access the internet and the users response is incorporated into program rules. As it has not be updated since 2007 I wonder if it can do IPV6 packet filtering.
