Sophos on Citrix high cpu utilisation

I am finding significant performance problems with Sophos on our Citrix Xenapp 5 presentation servers (W2k3).  I have recently been seeing very high CPU utilisation - 50%+ for prolonged periods which is killing performance on the servers.  I have a seperate policy for the Citrix servers which includes windows exclusions for the Citrix program folder, UNC for roaming profiles, and the page file drive.  Can anyone share best practice for a successful deployment on Citrix or experience of similar problems and how they can be overcome?

Thanks.
