When I say "reboot to clean things up" it applies to any OS's. Memory defragmentation being the primary reason. Applications, especially as varied as exist on App Servers, can allocate memory in odd units from sizes as small as a few bytes to 100K's; causing memory fragmentation. As a result it becomes increasingly difficult for the OS to allocate contigious chunks for large requests.

Also no kernel is perfect. Therefore a reboot once in a while is good to release leaked memory, resources, etc.
