Why would that matter? The amount of heat transferred to the living space is the same.
I can see the benefit of radiating some residual heat when not active (for example, through the night) but that seems to be offset by the delay you'd have when you start it up again.

Also, even if the fire goes out you'll get some residual heat and so you have some time to get it going again. This may not be a big deal at 0C, but if it's -20C outside then it may be a higher priority. From various reviews I've read, the heat 'feels' different: not as intense but rather 'softer' and 'even'.
