The MICO home page says:

   The difference to other free imlementations is, that MICO is developed for 
educational
   purposes [...]

As opposed to use as a tool ?

   We were inspired by Tanenbaum's
   MINIX project which is something similar in the UNIX community.

I don't think MINIX was terribly successful as a tool, since I'm
typing this on a Linux box.

    [...]

    o omit bells and whistles: only implement what is required for
      CORBA compliant implementation. Runtime efficiency is not an issue.

Perhaps I mis-read this, but it sounds as if the designers of MICO do
not consider efficiency important. CORBA has plenty of potential for
slowness, without being encouraged.

The omniORB2 page has performance measurements that show it as being
faster than most other ORBs. See
