Yes that was the question, but also especially for the distributed GC
triggered by RMI. When using CMS you have to explicitely set flags to
let DGC also use the CMS. So since UseParallelOldGC is not the default I
wasn't sure, whether you need to set something in analogy to let the
distributed GC also use it.
