Yes, RMI is supported in the CVS version of libgcj.

Maybe. The serialization implementation in libgcj does have performance
problems, so its possible that these would cause RMI to be not much
faster or even slower than the JDK implementation. AFAIK, nobody has
done any benchmarking of serialization or RMI so its hard to say how
well we do in that area. I would be very interested to hear your
experiences if you want to give it a try.
