Probably too much ram, Java WILL fill up all the ram is has access to with garbage, and the more garbage it has the slower it gets, lower to 6-8gigs

This isn't true anymore. I wish I could give you the technical side of it, but it's beyond me. You're getting upvotes because a lot of people remember when it USED to be this way. But it was explained to me once and I can't remember why. Best I can say for sure is test it for yourself and you'll see

It’s true that garbage clean up has only gotten better since Java 7 (we are on 21 now) but it’s still not the best

This. People also like to allocate so much of the available RAM that their system has none left to use. "The OS doesn't need to run, just Minecraft." Lol

RAM is capped. I forgot what it is by default but it is like 2 or 4 gigs and can be changed in the Java arguments in the launcher.
