PFE – Developer Notes for the Field : Memory Based Recycling in IIS 6.0
Customers frequently ask questions regarding the recycling options for Application Pools in IIS.
Several of those options are self explanatory, whereas others need a bit of analysis.
I’m going to focus on the Memory Recycling options, which allow IIS to monitor worker processes and recycle them based on configured memory limits.
Recycling application pools is not necessarily a sign of problems in the application being served. Memory fragmentation and other natural degradation cannot be avoided and recycling ensures that the applications are periodically cleaned up for enhanced resilience and performance.
