Then a major GC likely is running almost continuously, which will suspend the 
application threads.

What are your heap-related commmand line settings?  If you have artificially 
constrained the size of the OldGen, you could easily have a self-induced 
problem.  Setting -XX:NewRatio or any of several other options will prevent 
HotSpot from dynamically adjusting the balance between NewGen and OldGen.

Or, you may simply be out of heap space, in which case you'll need to fix your 
application so that it's not so greedy.  Excessive caching without employing a 
SoftReference technique is a frequent cause.
