For a supposedly reputable service Folding@Home uses your PC even when you turn off the application and set it on pause. This is an abuse of the trust of users to continue to mine processor speed under the guise of academic utility. If you want to have your full PC speed back, uninstall Folding@Home after you're done mining coins...otherwise they keep it running through a background application, even when the icon isn't visible on your desktop.
