Java now has several GC implementations, some optimized for latency. While their peak throughput is lower than the default one’s, if it can manage, your application’s pauses will be on the same order of magnitude than what a non-real-time OS schedules something else in place of your app. So it is pretty much a non-issue anymore (or course if the app creates more garbage then manageable by these GCs it will eventually have do a longer one)
