Simple memory usage question

[M O J O]

Hi,

A simple question...

This is just an example ... Say I have a class (MyClass) that has only
few variables (let's say 10 strings) but many-many-many subs and
fuctions, so many subs and functions that they take up 10k of memory.
The subs and fuctions creates no new variables.

Here's my question....

Will ....

Dim Class1 As New MyClass
Dim Class2 As New MyClass
Dim Class3 As New MyClass

Will they use 30k (due to the subs & functions) plus a small usage for
the 30 strings? .... or will they only use 10k plus a small usage for
the 30 strings?

In other words ... Will creating a new MyClass take 10k plus the strings
each time I create a new instance or will it only take 10k (plus the
strings) the first time I create an instance and all other instances
will use the same 10k of subs ans functions?

Than you!
