It would be nice to hear from more of the experts since we seem to have divergent views among them. For example, we were both part of a thread a while back with Christof where he said:(message #798250) "The biggest difference is resource usage in this case. An EXE solution needs more memory as the runtime is bigger and there's copy of the runtime for each EXE.
I think the reasons to pick MTDLLS over EXEs shouldn't be performance considerations, rather stability, scalability, security, etc."
