Hey peeps and peepette, just wondering if it is normal for an instance
of svchost.exe [in vista 64] to use just under 200, 000 K of ram?
I'm sure it's never been this much before... Last week or so I've
noticed it's been quite high.
I have 4gb ram installed, so it's not "affecting" my performance per
se, but that doesn't mean it's right, right?
When i click "go to service(s)" it's using the following:
WPDBusEnum
WLansvc
WdiSystemHost
Wudfsvc
UxSms
TrkWks
TabletINputService
SysMain
PcsSvc
Netman
hidserv
AudioEndpointBuilder
virus [avira antivir & avast! ] and spyware [spybot] scan show nothing
untoward.
IS it normal? Any way to get it down?
Cos my usual memory usage in vista is around 24% with nothing open, and
around 32% with firefox, MSN and a few Adobe Air apps open, yet i
noticed it at around 35% idle now, and almost 40% with just firefox
open.
"hmmm"
Any advice/expertise welcome! :D

One possile reason - Vista supports new memory management techniques - it
uses (free/available) memory for housekeepng chores mainly in support of
Superfetch and cache maintenance. Vista provides memory as necessary for
programs by reducing availability to Superfetch.
