Well, AVG scans any file that gets opened either for reading or writing for
viruses. I never have had a problem with Xitami slowing down.
What AVG probably does is hook the CreateFile() API using a global hooking
mechanism (DLL). If it leaks resources while handling the hook, it could
slow down the whole system, but not just one application. Disabling AVG
won't remove the hook DLL. Those things can be difficult to downright
impossible to remove.
