[omniORB] omniorb and omniorbpy speed

[Renzo Tomaselli]

Duncan,
    what about dealing with (possibly long) sequences of atomic types in
Python ? OmniORB 3.0 has been optimized for that when a any/dynanys is
involved (I raised this issue sometime ago because image handling through
anys was painful with 2.8).
Now what about Python performance, with such sequences both alone (in/out)
and inside anys ?

>really hard -- every element of your list involves several calls to
>malloc().

Thanks,
                                             Renzo Tomaselli
