[mythtv-users] What does restarting mythbackend actually do?

I proactively reset my Firewire connection to my HD STB and restart
mythbackend every morning, because I've learned that CNN and sometimes CTV
really mess things up - like yellow or red Watch Recordings entries messes.
Sometimes even that's not enough, so I have to do the reset+restart again
after a failure.
I've gotten used to it as the price to pay for it to work at all, and I'm well
behind the latest release - I'll be fixing that.
But, sometimes systemctl restart mythbackend takes a couple seconds, and
sometimes it can take a couple minutes, especially after a failure.
So I'm wondering what's going on with a restart. I'm assuming it has to wait
for various things to be signalled to stop or be killed and whatever is broken
is probably not responding.
How could I find out what the stop/start sequence is?
