I know how to do this, but not when. Is it something that people do periodically or do you wait until a problem becomes apparent?

I did it when I had a hot pixel appear in my photos a few months back. Problem solved!

I believe most RAW converters also detects hot pixels and remove them so it might not be needed at all.

Silkypix automatically removes hot pixels for me, otherwise I would use the camera's mapping feature periodically. I think you have to do it again if you re-format the memory card, by the way.

I've probably used the pixel map function twice with my K-7 (on demand rather than periodically) and it works just as advertised.
