I wasn't aware of this utility, but it seem interesting. However, you need to take these points into account:

You won't be able to communicate with the threads once they are started other than by events

You have no control over the thread. If it crash or is trapped in an infinite loop, you will have a memory leak

You must be sure that the thread had finished before release the COM. Memory leak will occurs otherwise

Even with these restrictions, I would still prefer this approach than the multi EXE. The multi EXE suffer from the same restrictions, is more complex to communicate with and you won't be notified when it had completed like the utility does.
