Hi Add -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError option to you JVM parameter. It will dump the heap (in hprof format) on OOM. You can take the hprof file and then analyze using Eclipse MAT (Memory Analyzer tool). This will give you information on which objects are getting used most. Based on that you can find out the corresponding application code and check whether there are memory leak exists in the code. The random slowness is usually associated with GC. Enable verboseGC with timestamp option and then check whether the GC is happening at the corresponding time of slowness.
