The documentation mentions a feature called Direct-Eval RPC[1], saying it didn't work as planned, and is now discouraged.
What was it, and why is it now considered a bad idea ?

It had a dependency on the Sun JVM (specifically it used sun.misc.Unsafe)
There were some plans for a workaround, but for whatever reason TPTB decided to work on RequstFactory instead. You can get the same speed advantages with RF but there is a whole lot more boilerplate code needed (which in turn can be alleviated with DI and down the rabbit hole you go).
