Hey Tim,
That will (probably) just stop your module being cached, making it
respond more slowly to requests, increasing the number of instances
needed to service concurrent requests. I think you're still better
off to try to make instance startup and request servicing as efficient
as possible.
An API to request instance death is a potentially interesting idea though.
