There were some experiments with using other transports in omniORB a
while ago, but they were very experimental, and never found their way
into the release. They did make things go faster, but not enormously
so. The two technical reports linked the following page explain more:

As part of the work on omniORB 4, the transport code is being
restructured to make it easier to add new transports. A shared memory
transport could well crop up then.

Cheers,

Duncan.
