File System Auto-Protect is killing my systems

Is there any way of disabling the auto-protect service while still having the AV/SW enabled?
It appears as if they are joined at the hip and b/c of this, my systems are running incredibly slow. It also appears to be causing major network issues (not due to traffic) because the systems are so unresponsive b/c of scanning everything takes up too much CPU & RAM.
Please help me either figure out a configuration that will run minimally while still not leaving the systems unprotected!

There are multiple machines.
There are multiple machines. Yes they are servers. Some are hosting web apps while others are backend servers housing SQL and custom apps that do a lot of data crunching. I'll try the suggestions in the KB first with my fingers crossed and one eye closed while praying.
