  Hi Hanno,
  Thanks for your reply!
  Is there anyway to have multiple instances running at the same time? I expect that my project might have hundred of users on the site at the same time. maybe 10 at the same time requesting a file that needs to be scripted in Rhino. So if I could only have one instance running, everyone would have to wait...
  
  Thanks!

  Hi,
  
  the usual use case for RhinoScript is to use it as scripting engine within Rhino.
  What you are doing takes time because you are firing up a new instance of Rhino everytime you run your script.
  If you need your script to run in an external environment and access Rhino via COM, you could try to use a persistent Rhino instance that is started once and then kept alive.
  
  Regards

  Hi,
  I'm very new to RhinoScript. I'm looking to use it as the scripting engine to dynamically create 3d models to be viewed online. The creation process will be quite simple, and I expect fast.
  
  The first issue I run in to while testing RhinoScript is that it seems very slow in starting...
  
  Just running this code:

  Dim start
  start = Timer
  Dim objRhino As Rhino4.Application
  Set objRhino = CreateObject("Rhino4.Application")
  MsgBox ("Rhino ready: " & Timer - start)

  takes about 8-10 seconds... That will be way to much for our desired user experience... any thoughts on this?
