I would have also thought it puts a lot of stress on parts from cycling
through, like the starter motor and the actual linkages in the engine
itself.

I drove my first 'stop/start' vehicle today. Press the brake pedal down and
the engine stops, apply the handbrake and release the foot-brake and the
engine restarts - what a pointless system for anyone who drives properly
and uses the handbrake.
