Svchost memory problem

From the Event Log:

"Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The
following programs consumed the most virtual memory: DVR.exe (5368) consumed
1064644608 bytes, svchost.exe (896) consumed 703098880 bytes, and
svchost.exe (1144) consumed 88264704 bytes"

DVR.exe is my CCTV software application and with 4GB ram I'm happy for it to
hog 1GB, I have nothing else running so what's with multiple occurrences of
svchost using the best part of a gig of memory?

Service host runs a gazillion services. It runs in several instances and
each instance can run a few services.

I.e, that's normal. Or at least it looks like the normal situation.
