However, do remember that instantiating objects in ASP, do have some overhead, which should be taken into consideration when designing your scripts. Once created however, calling the various methods should be very efficient. As a basic rule, "create once, call many times, destroy (using =nothing) after use."

ASP Coding for Performance - Compile Routines into COM objects/DLLs
If you have routines that are used by many scripts, are fairly processor intensive in nature or contain a fair amount of business logic, consider compiling these up into COM objects/ActiveX DLLs, using tools such as VB, Delphi or VC++. These compiled routines will run faster than interpreted ASP and are often easier to maintain.
