If you are really concerned about the number of svchost.exe using up you memory try disabling some windows services. A good list of services you can disable is located here: http://www.sanx.org/tipShow.asp?articleRef=65
You can find many others elsewhere

Automatic Updates
Many users prefer to manually download updates from Microsoft. If you wish to use the automatic update facility, leave this service enabled.
I strongly suggest against it!!!... Leave this service enabled, don't disable it! Leaving this enabled doesn't automaticly mean that windows will download and install updates automaticly; you can check that in your config-panel! Leaving this enabled means that Windows can check if there are updates available, it will do nothing more, once checked the service will end itself and leave memory...
A better and far more detailed list with explainations can be found on
www.blackviper.com. Because that list on www.sanx.org doesn't give you the full story and you can have troubles if you follow that list blindly; there is more to it then it is explained there...
