Andrew, You can set a memory limit in COM+ Application Recycling configuration. See Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Component Services | COM+ Applications| Choose application | right-click Properties... Choose "Pooling & Recycling" Tab I am not sure whether or not you can do anything about CPU.

We have an issue where every once in a while, our dllhost.exe file runs wild and it needs to be killed, but right now it is a manual process. Is there a way to automate this process? We checked to make sure there was no virus that caused the dllhost.exe file to run wild. What the issue is: some code that gets into an infinite loop and causes it to crash. The code is not ours, and the company that wrote the application refuses to acknowledge the issue, so our only remedy is to kill the job.
