svchost is used by many systems and many programs within Windows. Why it is causing a problem and how it may be tied to GW2 is hard to say, since the process doesn’t really tell you what it is doing.
If I had to guess, and this is pure speculation, it might be a graphics card related process, as that is where a good chunk of the memory the game uses goes.

I don’t know if it’ll help, but you can select which columns to show on process tab, and one of them is the Process ID. From this ID, you can check if it is a service that is causing the high usage of memory and CPU, and which one it would be.
Samuel Hart – lvl 80 Necro and 20 more toons… well. Yeah.
Microsoft has a powertool called Process Explorer that you can use as a replacement for Task Manager. If you google Process Explorer, it’ll be the link that goes to Microsoft’s TechNet site.
When you use it, it’ll show your processes in a tiered format with the Process IDs and any child processes will be branched below it. If you hover over the svchost process that’s eating RAM and CPU, it’ll pop up a list of services that particular svchost process controls.
From there, you can narrow down what services may be giving you issues and AFTER researching those services, you can either disable them if the service is not critical or restart the service if it’s acting up in the Services management tool under the Control Panel.

SVCHOST is a tool which is used by very many processes in Windows which is why you’ll often see several copies running, it’s a very bad idea to use Task Manager to kill such processes unless and until you know what each one is doing as it is used by system maintenance functions among other things and killing such process has the potential to leave your system highly unstable.
The tool BengSims mentions is the sort of thing you need to find this out and by its nature it’s somewhat ‘techie’ to use.
