No it doesn't!  It uses thread per connection, and holds connections
open between requests. That's an important difference, since thread
creation is too expensive to do on a per-request basis.

No you can't!  omniORB is always multi-threaded. You can, as part of
the CORBA standard, create a POA with the single thread model (and
also main thread model in omniORB 4), but the ORB itself is always
multi-threaded.

Cheers,

Duncan.
