 This depends entire on the monster and how much damage you do.  IF the map
timeout is pretty high, it can be quite reasonable for a monster to heal all
the damage you did to it before the map swaps out.  If the map time is very
short, this is less likely.

 Note that everything on the map still goes until it is swapped out.  So
generators will still crank out monsters.
