Why are you using the naming service for tracking user connections?  
That's not an appropriate mechanism.  The naming service is basically a 
tree-based directory service while user connections tend to be a flat namespace.  

You can write your own user-connection tracking IDL and servant, 
and the CGIs just use the naming service to find the servant.
A simple hash/dictionary should let you look up any user in a set of 400,000
quickly.
