I recently noticed some system lag and low frame rates in games, so I went to task manager and noticed that two instances of rundll32.exe were running to the tune of almost a gig of memory each! I terminated each of them and the lag stopped. If anyone knows what this is, I would greatly appreciate it.

It might be that games you played are not compatible with Windows 8. They simply might have memory leak at Windows 8 but work ok for older version of Windows, that's why rundll32.exe became huge. Possibility of malware is always an option, so better check your system either in safe mode or using live CD.
