Increase the throughput of Matlab Auotmation Server (COM)

I have an application which leverages Matlab to evaluate equations. The application communicates to Matlab using the COM Automation Server and more specifically the "Execute" and "GetFullMatrix" functions.

I'm trying to increase the throughput of the application. Instead of calling GetFullMatrix for each variable I'd like to call it once and provide a list of the variables I'm interested in. Perhaps it could return a 1D array of results. Anyone know how to accomplish this?

These variables: do they all happen to be scalars? Are they all the same data-type ?
