The property of 2.x which you mention here is rather important to us:
to be specific, we are currently developing Corba components which
execute within the same address space for some intensive computations
-  probably hundreds of calls per second at least.

We haven't yet started trying to use omniORB 3, but could you give a
little more detail about the additional work per local method
invocation?
