This isn't true at all. I suggest you look into JVM features like direct
buffers and pay particular attention to LMAX disruptor. It's possible to
keep all buffers off the GC-managed heap and build applications that
completely preallocate all memory they use even when running on the JVM so
they have zero allocation load or garbage collection.
