omniORB keeps threads and connections alive between calls in its
thread per connection model, so it doesn't create/destroy threads
particularly often unless it is being contacted by a huge number of
different clients.

There's no way of doing it with omniORB 3. omniORB 4 has a thread pool
model, so that solves your problem.
