Consider the following case..
There is a process which contain 5 activities. Each Activity has 2 element in the datastructure. Suppose for each activity I define a distinct datastructure. Then that process will have 5 distinct datastructures.

Consider the second scenario....For the same process I create a single datastructure which contain 10 elements ( I merged 5 datastructers into a single one) and assign to each activity. Now I may be using only two elements in datastrcture at each activity.

My question is how workflow server behave behind the scene for both the cases when I create & start process instance. From the workFlow performance point of view which is better....

It is my opinion that the biggest effect is the database footprint. When dealing with a structure containing only 10 members (assuming reasonable sizes for all) I think it is moot. However, when you have a 30 activity Template, with 100 or so different fields, only 5 or 6 of which are used at each activity, I would definitely go with separate data structures.
