The fix also seems not to require any actions by Windows XP users or IT pros to take effect.

How is that? No update/install?

Not certain. Either it was included in the latest auto-update as of last Tuesday, or the PatchManagement.org site might have it available otherwise.

I’m running XP with SP3 and SVCHOST used to gobble up 50% of resources and make the computer cooling fan run at annoyingly noisy high speeds.

Today Win7 is being installed on another partition mainly because WinXP will no longer be supported, but the real motivator was I thought that would be the only fix for that SVCHOST issue.

FYI, with numerous changes and a 3rd party upgrade, Win 7 can be made to look and work very similar to XP.

I wonder what the bug fix number is. I’d like to check my system to see if it is installed. Though I do recall getting a Auto Update notice around Tuesday.
