I don't know of ANY platform where on-access scanning takes 30% of the system's resources. If that's the state of things on Linux, then there's an architectural problem in how it's being done.
I've seen abominations like this on Windows (where at one job, the IT infrastructure management mandated a A-V program for all Windows desktops and attempted to prevent users from disabling it). It depends greatly on the kind of use you make of your system. If you're doing software development, say, where common activities such as rebuilding a large program can cause hundreds or thousands of files to be accessed, the A-V scanning (highly redundant and manifestly unnecessary) can take more time by a wide margin than the actual work of the program that accesses the files.
