How are you using omniNames?  What are all the object references, and
why do they need entries in the naming service?

The naming service is intended to be used to bootstrap a small number of
initial object references, not for thousands of transient objects.
omniNames therefore has a simple in-memory representation of the naming
graph, and a simple redo log format for persistence. That's fine for its
intended purpose, but it sounds like perhaps you need something else.

Cheers,

Duncan.
