If you do leave it on make sure you have no leaks. If you have no leak then either way, but for a balanced system it should be left on.

When I have the keg gassed, I turn the gas on when dispenecing only 25 Kpa.

I have mine at 75kpa. It varies from system to system, so just work out the happy medium.
Too low a pressure: beer goes flat over time.
Too high a pressure: beer gets forced out of tap at too high a rate, causing turbulent flow, effectively shaking it up. Result: heaps of head and flat beer.
