I would say if Avast didn't turn it off automatically then keep it running. Also, not all versions of Avast contain a firewall as far as I know. Which version are you running?

Leave the Firewall on. It doesn't use much CPU at all unless you've added a lot of rules. It's probably Avast slowing your PC down. As I recall, it installs something like 80+ services and drivers. Also check your startup programs and services.
