firewall runs in ring mode 0 at driver level, if it isnt getting any CPU time, therefore nothing outside the hardware or code taking all the time away is gettign any either, so the software that was downloading the data wouldnt get any either, so that means that even if you didnt have a software firewall it would do exactly the same.
Since you'd get the same results with or without firewall, it makes no sense to include that case.
