You could do it at any node if you needed the information for something.  I
don't do it very much but some people use it to figure out whether to extend or
prune or whatever.  I remember that GnuChess used the static eval to figure out
whether there were any forks happening, so the side that was forked would have
to make a move to deal with them.
