It really doesn't. Most services in Windows don't run most of the time, 
unless you're actually using them. Why would BITS or clipbook or the 
print spooler or the remote connection manager or anything like that be 
taking any noticable amount of time, unless skipping over blocked tasks 
in the scheduler was enough to cause problems? Even NTP only wakes up 
once a minute.

You might have some pretty aggressive services running - antivirus or 
something poorly written or some such?
