I also have around 35 running (with no open/running apps).
There is no "Magic" number, it will always vary based on the
3rd-party apps you have installed, Security software, etc..
Before ever considering stopping or modifying XP services,
I'd concentrate on Startups & Watchdog apps. It's here that
you'll find Printer Watchdogs, Media Players, IMs and other
items that aren't always necessary to have running & taking
up memory and system processing time.
