They are logged in the Windows Event Viewer. On Win7 they are in Windows Logs > System - filter for Source = WAS

A typical message may read:

A worker process with process id of '5916' serving application pool 'DefaultAppPool' was shutdown due to inactivity. Application Pool timeout configuration was set to 20 minutes. A new worker process will be started when needed.
