Not if you're using ORBit:
sopwith    518  0.0  0.1   224   176  p1 S    11:08   0:00 ./echo-client

[sopwith@moebius t]$ size echo-client
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 190057    5768    6596  202421   316b5 echo-client

(That's totally statically linked).

OTOH if you're using CORBA to replace a process-local object system like
GtkObject, you're nuts - CORBA is for IPC, not every-single-function-call
