The CORBA spec says, that you cannot and should not rely on oneway
messages being delivered instantanous. If you rely on this, your
design/code is broken. Better think of fixing your code :-)

A lot of people abuse one-way calls to optimize performance
or to avoid blocking calls. Better use a couple of workers
instead. 

Just IMHO,
