You might want to get Process Monitor freeware from SysInternals. If
fact there should be a SysInternalsSuite for download on most freeware
sites and on the MS hosted home page. svchost.exe launches other
services so to see what is hogging what resource you have to see what it
is loading or doing etc..

I have 32 bit Vista Home Premium on an HP PC that I bought in April
2007 and I'm still turning stuff off!!! It's just about at the level
now where the drive only runs on for a few minutes right after I create
a restore point. But it used to just go on by itself for 20 minutes on
end!! Turned a bunch of services off including Windows Indexing and
also you have to hunt down hidden scheduled tasks to see what other
stuff you don't use but the system wants to run anyway is scheduled to
run.
