The following is a list of running processes on my X51v immediately after reset:

gwes.exe
filesys.exe
device.exe
shell32.exe
plasma.exe
WisBarAdv3.exe
wisssystem.exe
services.exe
connmgr.exe
srvtrust.exe
calupd.exe

The only one I recognize is Wis Bar. Can anyone identify the rest of these? If there's one you know, speak up! Can I do without any of them? If so, how do I disable them? I am most curious about gwes, since it is over 5MB, and plasma.

If I add up the total memory these services use, it comes to just over 13MB. Yet the running processes screen tells me that 21.0 MB of 49.5 MB is being used. What happened to the other 7MB?

Finally, is there a way to generally speed up and improve system performance? I find the interface slow at times, such as when opening the Start menu or launching a program or document. I would not expect this to be the case if only 21 MB of memory is being used. That still leaves me with nearly 30 MB free. Any tweeks I should know about?
