Sorry it's taken me so long to look into this. I'm afraid I was wrong
to say that shutdown time was not affected by the scan granularity. I
was forgetting that on Windows and HPUX, the recv() system call (and
other related calls) is not interrupted when the underlying socket is
closed. Therefore, omniORB uses a select() call with a timeout of the
scan granularity instead.

I'm not aware of any other way it could be done. If anyone knows how
to do it, in a way that doesn't terribly uglify the code, please let
me know.

Cheers,

Duncan.
