My minecraft performance degrades the longer I play. The game will start to freeze for a fraction of a second before it continues. While this starts to happen every 10 minutes, the longer I play and the more I explore, the worse it gets, until eventually it happens every second.
Looking at my task manager, there are no shortage of resources. I am running of an SSD, 32GB Ram, I have a fast graphics card (AMD Radeon R9 290X), nothing runs in the background etc. Restarting minecraft solves the problem immediately. I limited the game to 30FPS and it pretty much stays there.
It's the latest version of Oracle Java (161), 64bit.
Any idea how to solve this issue?

This sounds exactly like excessive garbage collection. "Back in the day” we used to have to explicitly tweak the Java VM memory settings to allow at least 1GB of RAM. I thought that had been fixed.
But if nothing else works try changing the Java command line so
-Xmxis a few GB.
