The RMI regression tests, particularly the activiation tests, are just too slow to be usable.

The jdk_rmi batch typically takes 30-40 minutes in JPRT.

The following shows the tests for the activation tests on a typical system, the number at the end is the duration of the test in ms. These tests cannot run concurrently so the accumulative time for any test run that includes the RMI tests is huge (on a 8 core system they it the RMI tests take 3 times longer than all of the core libs, networking and security tests combined).
