I found it better to turn it off on all client workstations and just leave it running on the DC's
As long as you have WINS for NT 4.0 Networks, and for Windows 2000 and Above networks, just make sure your DNS servers are working properly and leave the DC's with it on. If you try and troubleshoot Master Browser issues on a large network you will be working on the issue forever!
