[omniORB] interprocess comm

[Mann, Gary (London)]

COM of course uses a lightweight RPC scheme based around the Windows message
queue. This is how COM objects in different thread apartments in the same
process communicate with each other. I believe they do it this way as it is
faster than using named pipes, DCE RPC etc.

Have you considered win32 named pipes?  I think that they can be used as a 
fast local machine stream transport.  Here is the documentation for them:

tmb.asp

Unfortunately they are only supported by Windows NT/2000/XP, not 95/98/Me.

Regards,
Luke.
