If your server is out-of-process (an ActiveX EXE), you have to make the choice between implementing
each of its externally creatable classes as a SingleUse or MultiUse object.
The main advantage of a MultiUse server is that it uses less system resources because the ActiveX
Manager needs to run fewer copies of it. The main reason to use a SingleUse server is to reduce
"blocking" of one client's use of a method by another client.
Blocking can happen when a server is MultiUse and more than one client is trying to call the
same code at the same time. The single copy of the server will attempt to satisfy requests for
the same service from more than one client at a time. Because all the instances of a MultiUse
server run in a single thread, one client's requests for a service from the server will effectively
block all other requests for that service until the request is completed.
If you have time-intensivecode in your server and expect several instances
of the server to be active at the same time, you can avoid end-user frustration
by making the server SingleUse so that clients don't experience delays while they
queue up for their turn to use a MultiUse server.
