recycling

The server is set to its default configuration to recycle the app pool every 1740 minutes. When this happens the following message is logged:

A worker process with process id of '1234' serving application pool 'XX' has 
requested a recycle because the worker process reached its allowed 
processing time limit.

Directly after logging this message, the web site is unresponsive. The only way to get it back online is by running iisreset manually.

Does anyone know a fix for this behavior, other than turning the recycle feature off? Is it a known problem?
