I just experienced an Interesting Phenomenon.
I noticed in Task Manager that the memory in use by a certain svchost.exe instance was 4 GB and continuously rising. Poking around in the Processes tab revealed that numerous services were hosted by that one process, including Windows Update and Windows Management Instrumentation. Stopping the Windows Update service made the memory usage stop rising, but it didn't free anything. The extra usage only went away after I rebooted. It would appear that there's a memory leak in the Windows Update service.
