"Like the X Window System, Fresco provides network transparency. The difference is that Fresco uses CORBA for network transparency while X Window System uses the X Protocol which is much lower level. So where Fresco transmits the creation request for a button and click events on that button, X transmits the look of the button each time it gets moved/redisplayed after being obscured by another window plus all events that happen inside the window the button is displayed in.
[...]
So while IIOP may have more overhead, the overlying Fresco communications will be much terser than corresponding communications under the X Protocol."
