Bryan Smith mentioned this to Gary Weinfurther:

I do mean that, although indirectly.  If you display the Project Options, the 
Forms tab is used to designate which forms are autocreated.  This is the 
proper way to change the autocreation of your forms.  If you remove a form 
from the autocreate list, Delphi will automatically remove its "CreateForm" 
line from the DPR file.
In most cases, only the main form should be autocreated.  Here's why:
1. Creating every form at application startup makes your application take a 
lot longer to start.
2. All those forms are taking up memory and Windows resources, whether or not 
the user is using and/or seeing them.
3. You can create multiple instances of a form by explicitly creating them.
Here's one way to create and show a form at runtime:
 with TMyForm.Create(Self) do
     try
         ShowModal;
     finally
         Free;
     end;
Note that this example does not assign the form object to the global form 
variable.  If you need to use the global form variable to reference the form, 
then you can do it like this:
  MyForm := TMyForm.Create(Self);
  with MyForm do
      try
          ShowModal;
      finally
          Free;
          MyForm := nil;
      end;
                                ...Gary
