It is around what I've come to expect with big bandwidth on some PCs.....the Web Shield functions with a way lower hit to bandwidth (if any) percentage-wise, on a more average connection like mine (20 mbps)....it just seems to get overwhelmed sometimes when facing 100 mbps. 

Now, what you do about the problem is up to you, you could of course disable the Web Shield, or uninstall it altogether, not something I would normally recommend (security risk), but I can also see you wanting to get most of the bandwidth you pay for.   But there might be work-arounds suitable for you as well, since the Web Shield has exclusions for urls and processes.  Maybe you don't need all that bandwidth for everything, only some things?
