In case you are alluding to the scalability problems you can create by
storing apartment threaded COM objects in application/session variables
(thus reducing concurrency by forcing serialized access to the objects),
then you may be pleased to learn that XSLTemplate has a threading model of
Both.

>From the MSXML4 docs for IXSLTemplate:

'To cache a compiled XSLT style sheet, load an XSLT style sheet into an
IXSLTemplate object. This object is free-threaded and stateless, so it can
be stored in shared Active Server Pages (ASP) application state.'

HTH!
