I think the whole thing can be summed up in that some people thing
using CORBA for IPCs is too slow, other people think it can be made
almost as fast as a traditional IPC, and my personal opinion is that
by taking advantage of the higher level information of CORBA and using
optimizations in kernel space, we may be able to get it *faster* than
traditional IPC. (I wouldn't try it any time soon though.) What's
the problem with all this? It's *all* opinion. I've yet to hear any
conclusive proof for anything, so of course it's going nowhere.
