Running the SP1 firewall, I do not believe, would cause any drastic decreases in transfer speeds.
it can........ it can block the incoming traffic if not configured properly........ kinda like an unconfigured router......

Whether it effects your p2p download speeds or not, you should not have the windows firewall switched on if you have also installed and are running another firewall.
If nothing else it's pointless and can only serve to slow down your whole system, never mind downloads.
