(IIS7) How to configure the w3wp process to never go down

I have one web app installed on one of my web servers. Its quick response is a must for user experience (i.e. returns phrases to the autocomplete)

After this application spops receiving requests for a while, w3wp process goes down and on the next request, the response time will be longer, as it will take also the time to load the w3wp process.

Is there a way to configure the w3wp process to never go down?
Is my only solution is to write an exe that sends dummy request every 1 minute?
Is there a built in "Keep alive" mechanism?

Thanks.

In the Application Pool settings, change the value used for Idle-Timeout within the Process section. I believe the default is 20 minutes.
