When looking for speed ups, we may potentially remove some of the loose 
coupling to obtain the speed.  The EJB method is invoked by the client and this 
is marshalled by the server to perform the EJB method.  A client implementation 
of the EJB interface is required to request the server to perform the method on 
the pooled EJB method. Looking at the worst case, Remote , we need to identify 
the method invoked which must be done in a serialised manor.

Thus as there is a fixed number of methods possible, we could ultimately define 
each method (including overriden methods) with an ordinal integer.  On this 
number we could then provide the method mapping through code generation - a 
switch statement. The solution is still transparent to the client as it is 
contained within the Stub.  Potentially we can reuse this for Local interfaces 
also.  The code generation can also provide hooks in for the appropriate 
security and transaction requirements.
