Should the iPhone be restarted after an app crashes?

I'm wondering about the stability of the phone after an app crashes. Is it necessary or useful to restart the phone after an app crashes? I had a situation yesterday where an app quit back to the main screen. A couple hours later, I noticed my phone was quite warm and my battery was down about 30% or so. I restarted the phone and it was back to normal. I figured the app crash had left some thread running that was sucking up some heavy processor cycles or something like that.

Does that make sense?
 
I've had apps crash, but never had heat issues and the software was stable. If I felt it heated up or was being slow, I would do a restart, but I don't restart every time.
 
I've had my iPhone get pretty warm, but I'm not sure that it's related to apps crashing. I'll try and see if it's related next time it happens.
 
I went to the apple store and asked a "genuis" some battery questions and he said that if an app crashed, you should restart your phone. He said it would help with battery life.
