ASP engine:

The Chili!Soft ASP Server uses ASP engines to execute ASP scripts. In multi-process mode, the number of processes specified in the Chili!Soft ASP Administration Console indicates the number of ASP engines that are spawned. In multi-threaded mode, a single ASP engine is spawned and this engine executes as many threads as are specified in the Chili!Soft ASP Administration Console.
