> Does anybody have any experience with using Remote COM Objects?

I've done a little DCOM stuff.

> is there a big performance difference?

It depends. Typically, when you use DCOM, you might have a centralized
DCOM/MTS server, and all your web servers talk to that server. Just like
with any other non-local service, there's a price to pay for network
traffic, but the reward may be worth it from a management perspective.

If, on the other hand, you want to have remote distributed services all over
the place, DCOM will be very slow for that. That's really the big impetus
for things like SOAP and Web Services - they work better over larger
networks.

> What happens when the remote COM object changes?

Typically, when using something like MTS, whether locally or remotely,
you'll end up cycling services when objects change.
