Bitcoin-Qt uses Windows performance counters as a source of entropy for random number generation.
I think this is why you see this happening, although I'm not sure why it would need to stop and start the service all the time.

Death to enemies!
The title says it all. Why Bitcoin-Qt uses VMI Performance Adapter service on WinXP SP3. The service is not running by default and when Bitcoin-Qt starts it starts and restarts the service every 10 minutes. Event Viewer is clearly showing this. Is it something to do with UPnP?
