21MB is not that much. One instance of svchost on my laptop is using 35MB right now.

The best thing is Not to use a computer and than No resources are hogged.:thumbsup:

But if you use a computer ?Hogging? memory is what the computer does.;):):thumbsup:

If you actually turned off the event log, you probably are one that would be best leaving the system running in it's default configuration.
