I set him to highest, turn off all hauling jobs and make him hop to it. It's the same noble for all roles and a legendary clerk keeps everything up to notch with short sittings. I even use the manager screen instead of issuing orders myself.

[muwahahaha]

Highest. I generally find that it means one less useless hauler walking around wasting food.

I wait until the first immigrant wave, find a peasant that has a personality I don't like and tell them to update records for the rest of their miserable life. Works well too, not only does it mean that I ahve a legendary in case I need a militia for whatever reason, it also means that there's one less useless hauler wasting my food supplies.

...it also means that there's one less useless hauler wasting my food supplies.

Useless hauler? I NEVER have enough haulers, it seems. If I wanted to get rid of them, there's always the Fortress Guard. But I hate to do that, because I can always use haulers.

I use one of my "long term" original seven (eg weapons + armor smithing) dwarves as a book keeper. He then takes care of book keeping while he waits for me to get smithing, glassmaking, etc up and running.

[Tormy]

Highest of course, what else? 

[efraker]

Always highest, and rotate book-keepers as they become legendary.

[Nethras]

Yeah, I leave it on lowest till I get an immigrant wave, then select a useless dwarf and make them the bookkeeper and set it on highest.  I can find things until then well enough that setting up an office and giving one of seven dwarves another time drain doesn't seem worth it, after that though, it's a source of work

[Skanky]

I use one of the first wave immigrants, set them to highest and then use them as a very fast hauler once they finally become legendary. I also use them as manager to authorise job orders, as they usually can finish what they are doing fast enough for my tastes.

[Nesoo]

I gradually increase it as needed to see all the numbers on the status screen, so it ends up at Highest in the end.

[nil]

I always mean to leave it at medium, because it's all you really need and in my experience it does prevent the stone category lag lurking in the stocks menu.  I can never say no to all that easy experience, though, and usually end up setting it to highest anyway.

[Noctune9]

I use highest until my bookkeeper gets to legendary, then i switch to lowest.
