Well I wouldn't say that it's Dalvik itself, but rather the internal java code for google apps like the sms messaging app, and the gmail app, or any other service that runs in the phone. I don't think that a ~200ms lag every 4 minutes is that bad, but I guess it would depend on your type of game. I'd recommend running your app in the emulator, I don't get any GC runs when it's idle. At least from the bit of testing that I did. I know you won't be able to play your game in the emulator, but you can at least verify no GC runs happen in your code.
However, I guess if you make enough noise, someone might try to fix this. If anyone has a fix for this I'd be interested to hear it as well.
