In IIS Manager, go to the properties of the App Pool. There are many ways to
configure it to recycle, time of day, hours, memory consumption, idle time, etc.
Also you can assign multiple threads to the pool (web garden). I believe the
Microoft recommendation is not more than 3, but I do not have my documentation
with me right now.
There should be no reason to re-boot just for IIS app pool issues.

Of course, you can manually stop and start the IIS App Pool listed on
the Home Directory tab of the IIS Web Site in question. Or perhaps an
entire IIS Reset is in order?
I'm also in the process of creating a blog post about using a shortcut
(specifically for developers that need to do this often) to stop and
start a specific IIS App Pool. Here is the command:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cscript.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\iisapp.vbs /a
MSSharePointPortalAppPool /r
where MSSharePointPortalAppPool is the name of the App Pool to reset.
This only works with Win2K3 SP1+. I've attached a zipped version of the
shortcut to this email for those of you that can download attachments.
