[omniORB] Threads in ORB

[bjorn rohde jensen]

Hi Jorge,

 It does make sense to worry about thread priorities,
i just do not think, you can rely on the ORB for it.
 I can not help but wonder, if it would not be simpler
to do some sort of hand over of incoming invocations.
Perhaps having your own thread pools with different
priorities hidden behind a facade would be a way to
do this? Servants could just forward requests to the
proper facades.

Yours sincerely,

Bjorn

Ps: curiosity is good:)
