Hi

In a perfect world I would agree with you.

Except that if you are experiencing problems i.e. a stuck instance
with failed imports its a lot more likely to resolve itself
if app re-cycling times become longer.  This means you need to take
some sort of action.
Unfortunately you can't force a re-cycle from with in an application
(even though you can tell you should re-cycle).

We always keep two instances of the same code ( version a and b) if we
get a stuck instance we will move the default to the other
(the plan here is it's quiet. Starts up clean).

If people keep hitting a stuck instance it just won't go away.

Nowing the average recycle time helps with tuning this monitoring.
