It seems to me the Interceptor interface is a real performance killer :-) At
some point it will be supported for the sake of compatiability.

There are other ways to insert code into the ORB to support security
services and others. If you can describe what is needed, may be I can give
you some pointers as to how the integration can be done.

By the way, is there any plan to make your work publicly available?
