This actually began on the old old system I had this summer: An HP dc7800p with a C2D e8400 and 4GB of RAM.
Various services tied to Windows Update, mostly svchost.exe -ntsvcs is hogging lots of CPU time and gobbles up 2GB of RAM. Sometimes I get weird mouse lag on the desktop, and it generally coincides with the update service spiking. I think that is when it's searching for updates and comparing to whatever is already installed or something because iirc it's essentially combing database files located in the Windows folder. When updates are installing TrustedInstaller and MRT.exe also uses lots of CPU time, and Security Essentials. After reboot it takes a bunch of minutes for everything to calm down.
On the current system it's less noticable (16GB RAM rocks), but on 4GB of RAM it's terrible. I know Windows Update is supposed to do stuff, but svchost can use up to 70% CPU and up to 2GB RAM for anything up to 20 minutes, especially on reboots and resume from sleep, but it happens ... sometimes, often enough for me to get used to it. I thought I had problems with the old machine and ended up simply disabling the update services, only running them manually on patch tuesdays. But it still does it, and it's annoying.
So: Is it supposed to be like this or is there something wrong? Is it just Windows 7 getting older?
And yes, the CPU clocks up as it should.

I just want it to work.
