During development the AEM Publisher server keeps crashing randomly. The deployment included a new static FAQ component that was used in the websites Contact Us page. An Architect investigates to find the root cause for the random failures, and notices the following parameters:

• The server slows down when requests are sent to the Contact us page

• The number of requests to the page were very few

• Heap dump shows a large number of instances of the FAQ component

What is likely causing this issue?
