The above link is for starters .... but more information is needed for a better diagnosis.
Heres a freeware util (similar to process walker in 2000 Datacenter)

Hi RavishingRocket,
I will presume that you are not a programmer. It's true that often when code is fixed it winds up being smaller because developers will remove uncessary code or find a better way of "doing it". At the same time often fixing crashes requires error handling (increases code). Fixing security issues can also increase the bulk of their code base. In addition Sp4 includes new features which may and or may not increase the actively running (in memory) code base further like USB 2 support. That being said I think you are focussing a little to much on nothing. If it's not crashing more then who cares? If it's more secure and presumably has fewer problems and is also free aren't you complaining about almost nothing?
Cheers,
Christian
