-	having a Resource Factory (<code>TAO_Resource_Factory</code>)
-	singleton which the ORB Core consults in order to get pointers
-	to resources.  The Resource Factory can be configured to
-	return pointers from thread-specific storage, or
-	process-global storage.  By doing this, the ORB Core is
-	shielded from ever having to know whether or not its resources
-	are global or not.</li>

+      <li>Placed an optimization in IIOP::Profile that should speed up
+      invocations on the client side rather substantially.  This was
+      done by caching an instance of <code>ACE_INET_Addr</code> in the
+      private portion of <code>Profile</code> because the cost of
+      constructing one for every invocation (in
+      <code>TAO_GIOP_Invocation::start</code>) was simply
+      enormous--the construction was something like 100 cycles on
+      Solaris.  This is all because deep down this ends up calling
+      <code>gethostbyname()</code>, which can be very costly.  Of
+      course, this is platform-dependent, so the improvements may not
+      be as great on a different platform.</li>
