sql server reporting services : Does RS process sleep?

I tried both SQL2000 & SQL2005.
But both servers RS processes sleep if no users access to them over an hour.
Once it sleeps, the user has to wait 20 seconds to start responding the
request.
Is this normal? Is there anyway to prevent this waiting time?
Please help!!

What I do is have a very simple report that auto-refreshes every 5 minutes.
That keeps it alive. There is also an IIS configuration that can be set but
I haven't used it and I don't remember it off the top of my head. The
auto-refresh is pretty easy hack though.

Instead of 5 minutes you could set it longer than than (30 minutes?).

Auto-refreshes means scheduling report?
Actually I tried an every 3 minutes schedule report.
But it didn't work for my case.
Anyway, I will try the IIS configuration.
Thanks.

Layout, report tab, autorefreshes checkbox. Once you have a report that
autorefreshes then open it and leave it up. This has worked for me both with
RS 2000 and RS 2005.

That is called Application Pool in IIS. Go to IIS Manager, under Applocation
Pools node, right click "DefaultAppPool" in which the Reporting Server work
process is running, select properties. On "Performace" tag, you will see, by
default, the app pool will shut down if being idle for 20 min. You can
extend this time to 8x60min 480min, so that the app pool will not shut down
for a regular working day. However, the first report reader of the day, will
hit the delay. You may schedule a dummy report at beginning of a work day
for this.
