title: Java: Expected overhead of the rmi protocol
body: <p>Within my program I'm using two RMI servers, which provide different methods, to simulate a simple network protocol between two notebooks. From my trace log I can see that the transmission time of a "packet" currently varies between 850 and 1100 ms. </p>
  
  <p>Are the transmission times in the expected range? Is the overhead of the RMI protocol really that large? </p>
  
  <p>BR,</p>
