ASP Coding for Performance - Consider using <OBJECT> tags
If you are not sure whether an object is actually going to be used or not in a script, then use the <OBJECT> tag instead of Server.CreateObject(). This will declare an object without actually instantiating it (ie instead it will wait until it is referenced, termed 'lazy evaluation'). Another benefit is they use CLASSIDS, which eliminate name collisions due to their uniqueness.
