Yes, that's quite high. Like others have said, the purge functionality
in CF both has a very long default and doesn't work very well anyway.
I recommend you create a database task to do this more frequently.

First, it's important to differentiate Session from Client. They're
two different things. So, I'll assume you're not actually using the CF
Session scope, just the Client scope.

Second, if my assumption above is correct, restarting CF will have no
effect on users being orphaned from their Client data, as you're not
storing that in memory, but rather in the database. Users will have
access to the Client data as long as their cookies are intact.
