It may not be a "high-CPU" hang (i.e. maxed out CPU). It could be a "low-CPU"
hang (e.g. threads are blocked due to lock contention or similar).

There is no need to restart IIS. Killing the w3wp.exe will cause a new one to
startup when the next request comes in.
Additionally, in the Application Pool configuration (IIS Manager ->
Application Pools -> locate your app pool name -> Properties -> Performance
tab) you can set the maximum CPU that the w3wp.exe process should be allowed
to use, and have it recycled automatically. However I don't belief this is a
good idea long term. Debugging the process is what's required.
