Preventing staging site restart during a swap

[davenewza]

From how I understand it, the only reason a staging site would require restart is if there exists app settings or connection strings configured as slot settings.

Although this doesn't always seem to be true. One of our applications will restart regardless. I have used Powershell cmdlets to be sure that there are no slot settings "hidden" from the Portal (because apparently this is a thing).

What other factors can determine whether the staging site will be restarted during a swap?
