You're not using caches, then?

If your cache misses are measured in milliseconds, you have a bigger problem than GC pauses.

They just need to have not-exactly-zero ms pauses to violate the requirement above - which they have.

Cache misses are not GC pauses. But GC often causes more cache misses.
