Regarding piers7’s question I was wondering about this too. If you are using the /DTS option (or Package Source = SSIS Package Store in the Agent Job UI) then the SSIS service must be running. If you are using /SQL (Package Source = SQL Server) then the SSIS service doesn’t need to be running.

That’s correct – the service has nothing to do with package execution/loading.

Does this mean that even DTEXEC’s loading of packages stored in SQL server is still done via MSDB stored procs, and not via the service interface?

There is another function – cache component metadata information (i.e. list of installed tasks, transforms, etc) – if it is enabled, SSIS runtime uses the cache to get this list rather than enumerate it when needed. But usually it is very small gain, unless you execute a lot of very small packages. It may speed up the SSIS designer launch though.
