Just 18 processes running here but it all depends on your computer. Try disabling any unnecessary background services (Start>Run>services.msc) if you consider it a problem.

28 Processes, 285MB Ram usage. I'd like to note though that two of those apps are Firefox and Paint.NET. Aside from that, I have a bunch of stuff like foobar2000, MirandaIM, UltimateDefrag, and such going.
