Will frequently shutting off the engine to prevent long idling shorten the life of the starter?

I’m looking up stuff on hypermiling, and one suggestion is to shut off the engine whenever one expects to idle longer than 10 seconds or so. Is this a recipe for sending your starter to an early grave? Mine’s a 2005 Toyota if that matters.
