Wow - true DGC is really a cool thing! And i agree with you that there is very few RMI DGC docs. If your need some details about Harmony rmi dgc implementation - feel free to ask.

Yes I should have the implementation completed by October by which time I will produce performance testing statistics and code to the community. At the moment the highly undocumented nature of the Java RMI dgc interfaces is proving to be a stumbling point hence I have turned to the Harmony mailing list for expertise.
