svchost

This is something that's always bothered me, so I'll ask the serverfault community.

I love me some Process Explorer for keeping track of more than just the high-level tasks you get in the Task Manager. But I constantly want to know which of those dozen services hosted in a single process under svchost is making my processor spike.

So... is there any non-intrusive way to find this information out?
