On XP you can turn off many unnecessary services. I have 17 processes running after boot up and memory usage is about 140M.

I have about that without turning off unncessary services. I use about 180-200 MB, and maybe 20 procs running. If you are after the benefits of saving an additional 20 MB to 40 MB of RAM, then you may need to do this. I don't care however since I have 2 GB in the system. Most people have at least 1 GB so it is not even an issue. THat is not the point. The point is, it is not going to make your game run any faster to turn off a couple services. The sleeping services do not eat any CPU power. They sit idle in RAM.
