You do know, however, that you can add additional columns to the Task Manager/Processes window? It will actually show you some cool stats like disk I/O (write/read), memory and paging deltas, and a couple dozen other things. That still doesn't eliminate the svhost problem you mention, but at least for uniquely named processes it helps considerably. Click View->Select Columns and choose the ones that interest you.
