Increase the size of your -ms argument (its the initial size of the heap).  Make it 
just above 
the size of the average heap size you are seeing when running with your "typical" 
application.

Make sure that the max size is big enough, but not too big (larger max size, leads to 
larger 
VM Footprint, which leads to higher probability of swapping (the real cause of the 
long 
pauses).
