[slim] Reset Question-Good Practices?

How often do you have to unplug your Squeezebox to reboot it? How often do you have to reset the audio chip? How often do you have to do a factory reset on your unit? I find that to keep the Squeezebox working I need to reboot it after a day or so by unplugging and replugging the power plug.
