What is the difference between declaring connection via object tag and Server.CreateObject

Question

When using classic ASP, what is the difference between declaring connection via object tag:

<object RUNAT="Server" ID="cn" PROGID="ADODB.Connection"></object>

and declaring the connection via the Server.CreateObject() call:

set cn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

Or is there any difference? Performance, memory, etc..

The object method should perform better, because the object is first created when you start using it.

I found some articles, maybe they give you some insight:
