I suspect that's something that the original openxml4j guys put in to fix 
something they hit in debugging, and never removed

I don't see why we can't zap the calls now. Do you want to open a new bug 
on bugzilla, and attach a patch that zaps the gc calls?

I have no Apache Bugzilla Account, so I thought the list might be the
easier way.
Would somebody on the list mind to put it into a bug? (I guess it
doesn't even qualify to be under any sort of copyright).

Thanks,
