multiple JVM's

Hi,

I have a Java API that I have to integrate with COM and call the API from a VB application.

If I make multiple calls to the Java API do I create multiple instances of the JVM ?

If I do create multiple instances of the JVM is this a large overhead and will it slow the aplication down if I am creating say 100 instances of the JVM ?

thanks
