Yep, I figured it out later. While the other threads were idle, one was doing garbage collection - the offending thread above. I'm surprised that GC is not distributed among the available CPUs, though - maybe my understanding of GC is faulty. I did read this: "If not managed, garbage collection is one of the biggest bottlenecks for an application, especially when running on symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server machines."
