Use Out of process componenets and set them the to SingleUse. Also set the thread pool to a relitively high number.. say 10-15. Make sure the Unattended_Execution box is checked. Or you can use the Thread per object option(Although that can become real server intensive).

If you decide to stay with in process components then make sure they are apartment threaded(which they are by default).

Also Maybe you could look at placing the DLL's/ActiveX exe's on a nother server so as to relieve some pressure off the one with the DB?
