If you’re using RMI, then you could be running into distributed GC. Also, some applications are adding explicit GC’s thinking that it will make their application faster. Luckily, you can disable this with an option to 1.3/1.4. Try -XX:+DisableExplicitGC along with -verbose:gc and see if this helps.
