Under Windows Vista x64 (with DreamScene enabled), one SVCHOST.EXE process is using 100MB of memory. Is this normal? I know that having multiple instances of this process is OK as it is part of Windows, but that much memory? I never saw that under Windows XP...
 
Yes, it's perfectly fine. The main chunk of that memory usage is actually being used by the Desktop Window Manager, i.e. the service that draws the desktop and applications. The other part is the Windows Driver Foundation service, which is self-explanatory.
