The UIMA Java SDK is written in Java (no C). Although the way that UIMA-J
manages the CAS internally using various heaps is more C-like than
Java-like.

Core UIMA doesn't use the file system unless asked to (i.e. when you serialize
to disk). The framework internally keeps all its data in memory. Although,
I have to admit, I don't know how the checkpoints that I believe are supported
by the CPE are implemented (never used that feature).
If you see massive disk IO, it might be due to the OS swapping?
