If you don't have a debugger attached (I'm not sure how that might change the behavior), this most likely means your application is creating lots of temporary objects: almost 15,000 every 7 seconds. I'm not aware of any bugs in the system that could cause an application process to start doing this without being due to the application itself, though of course there may be something.
Note that in Java it is really really easy to churn through lots of temporary objects, especially with autoboxing and such; this is one of the things you need to be careful about when programming for a mobile device.
