    <h3>Optimizing Scalability</h3>

    <p>
      In this context, ``scalability'' refers to how well an ORB
      performs as the number of CORBA requests increases.  For
      example, a non-scalable configuration will perform poorly as the
      number of pending CORBA requests on the client increases from
      <code>10</code> to <code>1,000</code>, and similarly on the
      server.  ORB scalability is particularly important on the server
      since it must often handle many requests from
