In v4.0 ASP.NET, we won’t unload the AppDomain until all requests have completed. In v2.0/3.5 ASP.NET in IIS 7 integrated mode, we also won’t unload the AppDomain until all the requests have completed.  In v2.0/3.5 classic mode, we will only wait until httpRuntime/shutdownTimeout has been exceeded before unloading the AppDomain, so long running async requests are vulnerable to being rudely aborted.  To work around this, you’d want the shutdownTimeout to be sufficiently long.
