While I am certainly in awe of Calvin's ideas and postings [which AFAIK are the basis of ParallelFox],
I think the reasons Rick had when using many COM activeX exe in their own process space instead of threaded DLL based approaches usage are still valid in most of the cases. Calvin won't probably have problems, but we "normals" should play it safe.

The added overhead of cross-process marshalling SHOULD be negible in a well designed worker approach: the mantra there is "write chunky, not chatty".
