shutdown() merely stops incoming and outgoing calls from happening.
destroy() cleans up ORB resources. With shutdown(), you can elect not
to block waiting for shutdown to complete, which is essential for
shutting down within an operation implementation. destroy() always
waits for completion.

Yes, but only if you also destroy() it first, and only with omniORB
4.0.x / omniORBpy 2.x.

Cheers,

Duncan.
