You can set your process priority higher than the garbage collector. 
However, if the process consumes memory and never sleeps, the GC will 
never be allowed to run and the application will receive an 
OutOfMemoryError and die.

I suggest also auditing the application code to reuse objects as much as 
possible and reduce usage of strings and other data types that wildly 
allocate memory.
