   There is a reference to a commercial transaction service in the
Contributed Applications section on the OmniORB home page.

   It makes a local subroutine call.

   Yes.

   Good question. I've heard this, myself, so I assume there could be
some slowdown. Hopefully, a clever enough implementation will be able
to limit the impact of this, if required.
