My understanding is that this is the case - for NWSGI I use a single
engine (per AppDomain, but that's not important) and each script is
compiled once into a CompiledCode object. On each request it gets a
new scope from the engine, finds the CompiledCode for the requested
script, and executes it in that scope. IIS can have a lot of worker
threads handling requests at any time, so it's basically the same
scenario you have. As long as you don't reuse scopes (and they're very
cheap to create) you should be just fine.
