I backup a Windows XP Home machine here.  I time the job for sometime 
between just after school and just before dinner.  That's the most 
common time for the kids to be on the computer and it means that it 
can be backed up easily.  They've never mentioned anything about 
things going slow.  Mind you, that's not laptop, but I'm not sure 
that bacula-fd should slow things down significantly.

What OS is that laptop running?  RAM?  Speed?  Have other users made 
similar comments?

I regularly backup my own Windows XP computer while using it. I've 
never noticed a performance issue.  Mind you, it's not a laptop 
either.
