It takes away system performance and as long as my firewall and browser keep the bad guys out there is no use in cleaning the inside, right?

The amount of resources AVG uses are negligible for normal computing, but if you're really looking to free up everything you can, just disable it before launching demanding games/apps.

I run a linksys router, Spybot S&D, Spyware Blaster, AVG, and Firefox w/NoScript & Adblock. I've never had a problem.

That's what I do. I usually terminate all unnecessary processes before starting MTW.

With AVG you don't need the control centre anyway. You can disable it via msconfig.
