Are you sure it's avast related?
I think your upload speed is not as great as your download one.
Can you upload a file to an ftp site and check the speed?
I think this is not avast related...

Can't you delete one of them?
I have this in the past but with the screen saver task... Some time later, an update corrected it.

Check if you have database set to ODBC. Recently, I have experienced similar problems (I mean the "task duplication") when the database is set to XML, which is not a good idea for avast! Professional.

That's what I'm saying ;)
Change Database=XML to Database=ODBC

How much does it slow down the system?
Do you have any other mail-scanning software (e.g. spam-filter) installed?
Are you sure the incoming e-mails are scanned? (i.e. are they marked by avast! in the headers - or do you see them in the "Last scanned" item of the On-Access Scanner window?)
