Most processes that you can eliminate will already have no affect on your game anyway, so why bother? These are called sleeping processes. The ones that will have an affect on your game are typically system procs and you can't do anything about them anyway.
Badly behaving processes are typically ones found from the 95/98/ME era. XP does an excellent job of eliminating any processes with memory leaks the moment the app is terminated, so its not really an issue anymore.

PS. THis is assuming you haven't loaded up your system with a lot of spyware apps that call home all the time.
PPS. If I am running a benchmark app, I will eliminate all terminatable procs myself still however - can't have a proc affect my score by even a single point in 3DMark now can we! :p But in reality, it will have no affect on real gaming performance.
