While it is unlikely to be related to CPU (i/o much more likely...), the
JVM is certainly capable of finding itself in a low-heap situation which :

1) performs very poorly
2) does not crash
3) and cannot be recovered from

This usually requires a restart of the JVM. This mental model should be an
expectation for any application running in the JVM.
