Yes, tweaking your JVM settings (including max heap) *can* fix this. Of course you are limited to the amount of RAM you have available to you, which is limited by both the physical RAM installed and potentially your OS.
I am by no means an expert on this particular topic. I usually rely on Mike Brunt (http://www.cfwhisperer.com/), one of the greatest minds on CF/JVM tweaking, or on Google. JVM tuning is a pretty common topic on various lists and blogs. I would suggest starting at Mike's blog, honestly. And yes, the slowdown that you are seeing across all requests is because the JVM is out of memory. If you peruse your logs, you will most likely find all kinds of java.lang.OutOfMemoryError messages.
