I read a report about optimizations to some IDL-generated code performed by
the SawMill project. They made the stubs a lot faster improving the performance
of cross-process calls quite a lot (something like doubling the performance).
Maybe it'd be a good idea to use that IDL compiler. (CORBA one if I remember
correctly)
