Do You Use the HttpChannel?

If you use the HttpChannel for .NET remoting, you should prefer IIS as the host for the remote component because the component is loaded in the ASP.NET worker process. The ASP.NET worker process loads the server garbage collector, which is more efficient for garbage collection on multiprocessor machines. If you use a custom host, such as a Windows service, you can use only the workstation garbage collector. The HttpChannel also enables you to load balance components hosted in IIS.
