You can (and should!) explicitly monitor these conditions. The JVM provides interesting diagnostics output through JMX to monitor it, or you can directly measure: https://github.com/opentable/otj-pausedetector I run this in *every* application -- unexpected pauses cause all sorts of troubles, monitoring it is cheap, and you'll save hours when you have a big warning "hey, the JVM went to lunch for 30 seconds here, that might be why all this stuff broke"
