Yes, you misunderstood. In omniORB 4, I implemented shortcut local
calls for _in process_ communication. The calls bypass the normal POA
policies and therefore go very fast, but are non-compliant. This is
only a possibility if the client and server are in the same process.
It does not help at all if they are in different processes, even if
the processes are on the same machine.

Cheers,

Duncan.
