> I recently learned that RMI will by default trigger a full GC every hour.
> See [Oracle RMI docs|http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/rmi/sunrmiproperties.html] {{sun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval}}.
> Since JMX uses RMI, and Log4j 2 by default enables JMX, we are unintentionally causing all applications that use Log4j 2 to do a full GC every hour.
> This is clearly undesirable. 
> I propose we change to switch JMX off by default and update the documentation to reflect this change and the reason behind it.
