It can be a real timesaver... I like this approach for transactional data such as accounting applications where you close a time period i.e. Quarter, Year, and (at least supposedly) no changes are made to that data. Of course, because bean counters shall tinker with data forever, you gotta have a 'recalc' utility, just in case...
