Not having looked at the code, my guess would be what the 1k+ loc of method is doing. If it's mainly a bunch or if elsea or a switch statement that jumps to another function, which is what most gross long Enterprise code is, I imagine it's fine. But if you have 1k loc that is procedurally creating objects and doing a lot that depends on previous operations then I could see starting to run out of memory. We also don't know how much memory they had, most Java code for Enterprise is running on pretty big servers or workstations.
