I am with BR on using simple (custom) columns whenever possible.

Columns built form other columns must be used when the contents is based upon a column that continuously varies (eg reading progress). Every calculation slows the application down.

For (mostly) Static values, use Bulk S&R to pre-load the custom column. Pre-loading is a single time performance hit.

use Save the Searches to periodically fill in the blanks
