Single threaded vs. multithreaded process.

[tarekahf]

If you develop a process in LiveCycle Workbench that as a script object or step, does this mean that this step will be single-threaded? Or multi-threaded? Or it can be configured?

What is the impact in case it is single-threaded? It will slow other processes if it will run on the server part of a long batch job for example? How this should affect my decision to use or not to use a script step and use a Java component instead? This is because I was told that using components means it is guaranteed it will be multi-threaded.

See the snapshot below for details.

I appreciate your feedback.
