Also I should have specified. This question is geared towards mass start road racing. In crits, I could see the advantage of knowing your lap times, and knowing how much you can shave off when you need to go for it. In a TT I can see where if you knew your personal best, and striving to better that at every split, but for a mass start race I see no advantage to using a computer. Even in a TT I can see where besting your best wouldn't work depending on conditions, such as wet or windy. The only time I ever used it is to check my speed, but there really was no since to it, I don't feel knowing it was of any advantage. Also I have never TT, or done Crits, but I have Road Raced.
