As a database guy at Heroku, I'm not one to speak authoritatively on this, so please take this as the personal thoughts of someone and not an official statement.
We idle apps in order to avoid having to charge for them. The more people who prevent this behaviour, the more expensive our "free" apps become to run, and the more likely we are to have to change our policies about what we can offer in a free app. While I admire the ingenuity in this post, I would suggest that you reduce the amount of time your application takes to boot, or simply accept that a few seconds of lag on the first request after a period of idleness is a reasonable trade-off for free web hosting.
